Promptly Poetry Challenge (2024-2025)

I've added a new entry to my book, "Weekly Poetry Challenge Five" :
         "week 21 Finding Big Foot" 

Finding Big Foot

Sam Adams
Worked for the Cosmos Institute
In Berkeley
As a paranormal researcher.

He was the world’s expert
On Bigfoot, Yeti
and other mythological missing links
He was convinced that
lived deep in the mountains.

One day he led an expedition
To the Trinity Alps
In Northern California

Based on AI research
As the most likely home
Of the mysterious Bigfoot

He heard a noise outside his tent
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

the lead Bigfoot said

“Not so fast,
We will pay you in hidden gold
But you have to promise
Not to betray us.

Sam smiled

“Yeah, you got a deal”

Sam took the Bigfoot home
To Berkeley where he held
A press conference

The Bigfoot became
A media sensation
All over the world
The Bigfoot emerged
From their hiding spots

Denouncing the world’s elites
For destroying the planet
And promising to help
Restore Mother Earth.
