Cryptid

A grandiose mythological hominid
Who stands at pointed-eared attention?
Who rocks the sleeping baby's cradle
When the term "cryptid" is mentioned?

The experts may have tracked its movement
Its dreadful slumbers in hibernation
A nocturnal presence, a psychic omniscience
Witness account, or just hallucination?

Who bites the frost of the northern wind?
Who prefers biomes of isolation?
An ancient longevity, but what could it be?
A symbol of good will and joy to me
He left me a partridge in a pear tree

Sounds like you're talking about Bigfoot? The partridge he left is called gifting. Sasquatch have been known to leave behind pieces of food or other items, for people to find. And sometimes humans will place a gift of fruit or other eatable in the woods for the cryptid.

A most unusual poem with an unexpected gift at the end. A partridge in a pear tree and that sounds good to me. Reminds me of Christmas.

It's a great poem. Kudos. For srs. It is like nothing else that I have read here. You make words sing in a way that most poets do not!
