Big Foot Emerges

Big Foot Emerges

While drinking coffee
In his camp
Deep in the woods

In the Trinity Alps wilderness
snuggled in his tent

rolled in his sleeping bag
Sam Adams had the encounter
That changed his life

He heard a noise
Went outside
And saw five
Bigfoots standing there

They told him
In his head
They had a message
For humanity

He could videotape them
They would speak slowly
They could speak
But preferred
mind to mind talk

The bigfoot was here
They wanted to re-join
The rest of humanity
They were what
Humans called Neanderthals

They lived deep in the woods
All over the world
Perhaps 10, 000 were alive

Two of them will go out
With him

They would hold a press conference
And appoint Sam Adams
As their ambassador

Sam grinned
Thinking he could make so much money

Bigfoot said

Not so fast

We will pay you in hidden gold
But you have to promise
Not to betray us

Deal

Sam smiled

Yeah, you got a deal

And now for our prompt (optional, as always). Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem about a mythical person or creature doing something unusual – or at least something that seems unusual about that person/creature. For example, what does Hercules do when he loses a sock in the dryer? If a mermaid wants to pick up rock climbing as a hobby, how does she do that? What happens when a mountain troll makes pancakes? © Apr '22, john Cosmos
