The Legend. No myth nor folklore
'Bigfoot' tiptoes through the forest
brown coarseness of hair
rugged, a gigantic frame,
momentarily merging within the trees
Once seen, cannot be unseen -
half man - half beast,
a hideous menacing vision,
the expressions of horror
on unsuspecting faces,
even from a distance.
Always dodging, running boundless
just like the fox, or anything hunted,
One step ahead of the chase...
To be itself, comfortable in its skin
eludes him.
Inside, his silent world
of cries unheard,
yearning to be accepted,
Even the lone wolf slowly backs away
as he reaches out his hairy hand
only to be rejected.
A friendly gesture, to embrace,
in sadness he runs away
trying to escape this cruel place.
The wretched Yeti, forced into hiding,
a pitiful prison, so solitary confining...
yet, he roams this man's land -
no place for beasts
Frankenstein of the forest,
leaving only imprints of enlarged feet.

Hm, since I know how much truth there is in my own poems, I would be interested to know how much truth there is in this poem. I mean Yeti, Bigfoot, Frankenstein of the forest... it all sounds very jumbled up but somehow makes sense... the wandering giant, so to speak... sometimes here sometimes there... very poetic poem... my compliments! :)
Yes, to most of us that haven't actually seen it, would say it's a Myth - just like the tales of the Lochness monster in Scotland! who knows ? but this is told as if it were true; and trying to give him a humane character, wanting to be accepted for what/who he is, and not living in fear.
It's probably more of a short story than the actual art of Poetry itself.
Thanks for your input. It's good to get different points of view :)

If it is not based on any real events, it is at least very imaginatively written and composed. Once again, good work! :)
