Poems by Bob Boyd

A married French woman
thought she met Brad Pitt

in her Instagram account

and that he was in the hospital
and needed money

for a kidney cancer
treatment

and needed the funds
because his wicked ex
Angelina Joyle

had drained him
of all his money

She sent him 9k
divorced her husband
and got reeled
in for
a total of 850k

before she realized
she had been duped
by scammers and
a fake AI Brad Pitt.

He thought he was her intended,
a lovely looking woman from Thailand.
She made him promises and said
she needed money to survive
because she was third world poor.

And because she loved him
and hoped they’d get married
someday when he came to
Thailand to be her husband.

So like a caring gentleman
who wanted to save her
from the poverty and strife,
he sent her $500 every month
and was rewarded with more
love bombs and virtual kisses.

Unknown to him she had
six other intendeds sending
her money every month and
was working on six more
for a sweet setup where she
could be third world rich.

Aliens with Transparent Bodies and Glowing Blue Eyes

They came offering peace and with the promise
of making planet earth a better world.

Their appearances were bizarre and unsettling,
ten feet tall, transparent bodies and glowing blue eyes.

They had supernatural powers of persuasion
that convinced governments to believe them.

At first they were heralded as heroes who miraculously
brought peace to the planet.

All was well for two amazingly wonderful years
for all humans and nations

until millions of their reinforcements descended on the planet
and disarmed all the guns and the nukes

and began slaughtering and carving up humans
for tasty meals and gourmet treats.

When they left the planet after years of
gorging themselves on billions of humans,

the few humans who survived their genocidal feasts
prayed they’d never return.

Ronathan Blake
was a good man
who lived a good life,
respectable and cordial
admired by many
but no one knew
the inner demons
he struggled with
his desire to
murder others
that he hid
deep inside of him
until one day
he let the demons
out of his dark soul
and murdered
his ex-wife and
their 3 children

He worked out for years and had near zero body fat.
He ran triathlons and was supremely fit.
He was strong like a bull and muscled like a god.
He seemed bulletproof invincible to anything
that could harm or take anyone else out.
His diet seemed perfect, never ate any junk food.
Yet, he died young of a massive heart attack.
Sometimes living a long disease-free life
is more about luck than determined intentions.

Bob Boyd

They eat mostly fats and rarely vegetables or fruits;
that suggests they should have heart problems,
but their bodies have adapted genetically
and they have some of the healthiest hearts on earth.

They’re bodies are stocky with short arms and legs
which makes their bodies more resistant to cold.
They thrive in the cold with a metabolism that is designed
to withstanding sub-zero temperatures at deadly levels.

They are the Inuit, the indigenous people of the arctic.

When Mark was growing up, he always thought women
were angelic.

They seemed above the follies and the violence
of men.

As he grew older he met some women who
challenged his belief.

But he wasn’t dissuaded until he met the woman
he thought was his first true love.

Her name was Hannah Flores and she was beautiful
and seemed incredibly nice.

Their courtship was as romantic and loving as scenes
out of a romantic movie.

After a year of marital bliss, Mark didn’t see what was coming
when Hannah took out a million dollar insurance plan on him.

Shortly after that he saw the evil in her eyes when
the darkness in her soul came out.

And he realized he was wrong about all women
being angelic.

Right before a shot rang out and he gasped and
fell to the ground dead.

The guy that she’d been seeing held the
smoking gun.

And maybe Mark went to heaven where
the real angelic women live.

Another iconic celeb gone
standouts in my generation
dying off nearly monthly now
It felt as though they’d live
as stars and legends forever
now those stars are burning out
and nothing lasts forever

Spring is peeping through the month of March.
It yawns as it begins to wake up from frosty seasons.
It begins to stretch as flowers prepare to bud and bloom
and leaves are getting ready to decorate the trees
and the earth is becoming beautifully renewed.
It reminds me of when we first fell in love
and everything was so wondrous and new.

On April 17, 1976 Owlman made his frightening debut.
Two young girls, Vicky and June Melling, saw him hovering above a church in a village in Mawnan, England.
And they described him as a feathered-bird man. It had pointed ears, glowing red eyes and large crab claws for feet.

It was seen again on July 3 by two other young girls, Sally Chapman and Barbara Perry. Big as a man with glowing eyes and pincer-like claws.

Sparse sightings of Owlman in and around that village church continued through the 70s, 80s and 90s.

In June of 2020 a husband and wife said while driving on Kirchoff Road in Rolling Meadows, Illinois USA, they saw a creature as big as an SUV with large massive wings they described as an owl man.

Now I’m not a believer in an Owlman, but I find these stories fascinating and a fun distraction from the routines of everyday life.

Of course, it might be that cryptids like Owlman are real and appear and disappear in dimensions inaccessible to us. Bigfoot, for example, could be an interdimensional creature when hunters who allege to have seen him say when they shot at him he vanished.

Cryptids, real or unreal, monsters or imaginations, I’ve never seen any of them.

I’ve seen enough monsters among men.
