bigfoot eschews

15OCT26

the life of ease

life is sappy
out in the trees
bigfoot is as happy
as he can be

life is hard
beneath the leaves
that's his card
up his sleeve

he does not suffer
the burden of ease
he likes things tougher
like the birds & the bees

that's his little pill
to make him feel divine
we all need a hill
to have to climb

Woodbooger Festival 2026 Memories

29SEP26

linger & roll

there is a scroll
the message is gold
in your soul
to be unrolled

it is a recipe
to make your own
those in the teepees
have long known

out in the trees
away from the money
the birds & the bees
making their honey

try the sugar
& the spice
why the Woodbooger
was so nice

You really should try to attend the Woodbooger Festival in Norton VA in late September 2027.

Enjoy your Tuesday. Do not remain aloof from the goof.

here we come

bigfoot is not a job
to get done
let's go to High Knob

learn about Sasquatchin'
& the birds & bees
they'll be watchin'
from the trees

we'll all be sportin'
real big smiles

have fun now
in our souls
that is just how
bigfoot rolls

Poems

your heart & soul

04SEP26

don’t need a screen

life is art
it's rock 'n' roll
trust your heart
trust your soul

touch your choice
feel the pain
give 'em as much voice
as your brain

learn to tell
the right notes
learn to sail
learn to float

your part played
the birds & the bees
in the shade
heard in the trees

the screen glows
that's got the worries
even bigfoot knows
that's not all there is

Enjoy your Friday. Do not remain aloof from the goof.

Poems

a big muse

14AUG26

is no excuse

bigfoot too blurred
even to see
not even by the birds
& the bees

his mystery pure
shrouded in mist
not even sure
he even exists

but there is no stopping
sound of the bell that tolls
or any of us hopping
down his rabbit hole

so many uses
he has had
when it comes to muses
he's not that bad

Enjoy your Friday. Do not remain aloof from the goof.

Poems

bigfoot imagination

01JUL26

running away with me

secrets they're keeping
my dreams from me
like bigfoot peeping
from behind a tree

lead me on dances
offer me drinks fizzy
the truth in glances
that leaves me dizzy

memories like glowing embers
what does it all mean
all I can remember
something tall was seen

all of these Temptations
humming like birds & bees
or "Just My Imagination
(Running Away With Me)"

Enjoy your Wednesday. Do not remain aloof from the goof.

The fourth stanza is obviously a nod to the Temptations and their 1971 hit song “Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)”.

Poems

bigfoot is a retailer

02MAY26

not a jailer

bigfoot is a sage
in the bees and the birds
lives on the page
helps free the words

a master of speed
a loud screamer
says the world needs
it needs more dreamers

don't have to be whiz
to take your shot
forget about what is
go for what is not

the big and tall
open the candy store
don't stop at the wall
cut a door

Today is the Smoky Mountain Bigfoot Festival in Townsend Tennessee. Unfortunately I am about 4 days into taking antibiotics and still experiencing some flu like symptoms. So I will have to miss it. For about the last 3 weeks I have been in the tri-city area. They have been running adds on the radio channels.

Today is also the Kentucky Derby. Good luck if you have picked a horse.

The keen observer may realize that I have listed todays events in the order of what is most important for all of humanity : )

Poems

learn the bigfoot smile

10APR26

for your own good

spend a while
in the woods
learn the bigfoot smile
for your own good

like the temple
of Kwai-Chang Caine
make things simple
for your brain

listen to your soul
lose your phone
take a stroll
into the unknown

learn to mix
with the unseen
forget your clicks
on a screen

things that matter
the birds & the bees
as the rain pitter patters
on the trees

Kwai-Chang Caine was a character in the TV series Kung Fu. The series ran on network television starting in 1972 for 3 years. It was a magical series that managed to teach a lot of life lessons about morality. You can still see clips of it on YouTube. A lot of people have purchased the shows on DVD. I am one of them : )

I have written in the blog about this before but I will mention it again. One of my favorite stories about the Kung Fu TV show is that the Allman Brothers Band would have to wait until the show was over to rehearse because Dickey Betts refused to miss an episode of the show. That story is kind of like bigfoot. It always makes me smile.

Enjoy your Friday. Do not remain aloof from the goof.

Poems

with a soul

03MAR26

full of peace

bigfoot is a keeper 
of the gate
he is a good sleeper
no computer updates

takes no drugs
able to resist them
has no bugs
in his computer system

bigfoot is mostly unseen
he is almost too quiet
no computer screen
full of blue light

no iPhone or android
or long term contract
while trying to avoid
any type of contact

along he rolls
in the birds & the bees
with a soul
full of peace

no AI or robotics
gets to swim the sea
tell me who's got it
better - him or me

I have an appointment this morning at the Genius Bar at the Apple Store. Hopefully by the end of the day all of the issues with the posts being published and visible on Google will be resolved. I attempted several fixes yesterday. Late last night they seemed to be working.

Enjoy your Tuesday.
