Tabloid headlines are an excellent source to mine ideas for fun and creative poetry. One of the earliest poems I shared in this newsletter riffed on aliens running Wall Street behind closed doors. I decided to browse the tabloids again and this creative muse didn’t disappoint.
Bigfoot is the subject of my latest sci-fi poem. The camera-shy sasquatch hides in the woods better than any of its fellow animals. Don’t be fooled though. The forest isn’t the only Bigfoot bunker this famous cryptid uses.
Enjoy reading about Bigfoot’s exploits in DC.
A conspiracy reigns in the White House, spreading out from the west wing, enveloping every inch of the oval office. A secret so explosive and scandalous, not even the Pentagon can eradicate it with bombs dropped by speedy drones. Bigfoot is no joke or elaborate hoax. The elusive primate calls to us not from a deep forest cave or hut nor an underground Area 51 lab. He has moved out to a nicer pad. 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is home. Lurking within vast secret tunnels. Spying on unsuspecting tour groups moving from one room to the next. The sasquatch patiently bides his time. Hidden from crazed hunters and scientists, in one place they never thought to look. If you never encounter Bigfoot in DC, you have no reason to fret or fear. Grab a t-shirt or hat from the gift shop. Order his specially endorsed jerky. Sign up for his weekly newsletter. Follow him on TikTok and Instagram. Trust me, Bigfoot wants to stay hidden. That's what he said on his Twitch live stream.

Does he have a patreon? I would like to commit lol.
Funny little tin-foil poem you got here John! Made me chuckle and just imagined Big Foot, running around the white house and spooking the Secret Service lol
You’ve really tapped into my special interests here with sci-fi poetry and Bigfoot! What a well-executed bit of poetry and storytelling!
