bigfoot’s motorcycle

Poems

what would he ride

bigfoot on a bike
I cannot decide
what would he like
what would he ride

he's a real bruiser
in the woods & thickets
a big steel cruiser
would that be the ticket

would he hug the tank
a sportbike slave
& the throttle yank
on a road paved

have lots of chrome
needing lots of attention
on his way home
speeding to another dimension

to avoid tension
& escape danger to cars
I will not mention
ape hanger handlebars

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

I have been dealing with motorcycles so much that I may have them on the brain. Tomorrow’s poem may have bigfoot dialing in camera and microphone settings and dealing with video editing software. But as I mentioned a couple of days ago we are getting closer to getting some of the curvy road videos up on YouTube.

NOTE: The blog has a menu with more video content. On a computer it is at the top of the screen. On a tablet or mobile device it is the 3 stacked slashes to the right of the word ASTRA. Enjoy the blog.

Hocking Hills Bigfoot Festival Starts Today

where the bigfoot convene

the wind is blowin'
the shutters are slappin'
with a sense of not knowin'
what'll be happening

beyond the fence
it has already gone
leaving a sense 
of things unknown

try to prepare
with what you know
but do you dare
to let your mind blow

a power is wielding 
in the trees unseen
it's this type of building
where the bigfoot convene

the bigfoot administration
laws and rules amended
but no invitation
will be extended

but to be cool
& avoid getting maimed
I would obey their rules
just the same

Hocking Hills Bigfoot Festival is starting today. I am sure the tents are already up. All of the listings on google mention 200 acres. That is impressive to say the least. I am not sure if I am going.

I will probably skip it and try to focus on getting some more of the drone footage edited. I tried to take a break from it yesterday and still managed to spend huge chunks of time sampling music to try and find something to give the videos the right vibe. This blog is kind of like a mountain with a lot of rabbit holes in it. And the rabbit hole where you go to search for the “perfect” music should be closely monitored. I probably should start setting some type of alarm.

The Woodbooger Festival in Norton, VA will be 26-28SEP25. I will probably attend that since it is very close to my hometown. I did 2 posts on Norton earlier in the year. I did one post on the Wood Booger Grill and the second post was on the Woodbooger Sanctuary at High Knob. You can find the posts in the bigfoot section of the drop down menu. You may notice that the Grill uses 2 words while the sanctuary and the festival combine them.

I hope that you you enjoy your day and that you find many things to smile about : )

out in the forest

what do I keep

a leaf is spinning
all about
is belief winning 
or am I in doubt

all else pales
to the pull
look to my sails
are they full

water is deep
that we tread 
what do I keep
in my head

the waves roll
they foam and bubble
does peace save my soul
or does it roam with trouble

does the answer hide
in semantics there unseen
or does it reside
gigantic in the in between

is the truth porus
is its home the soul
or out in the forest
does it roam and roll

ability to cloak
stuff and fill its file
 we know it can provoke
and cause a smile

a baby in a stall
its blanket in tatters
maybe that's all 
that really matters

I was tempted to title this post “video editing software is just as mysterious as bigfoot” but somehow it just didn’t have the right ring to it. Yesterday I purchased the paid version of the free editing software that I have been using. At this point I have moved the projects from the free software to the more powerful version. In the long term this should improve and speed up my project workflow. The impact will probably be a slow down as I try to learn how to navigate some of the new features in this software in the short term. This morning I will begin installing and trying to navigate the audio plug in that will help me more easily match the audio to the video. I have three new drone fly over videos that should be pretty close to being published on the blog.

I hope that you enjoy your Saturday!
