Where Did The Wendigo Go..?

The Wendigo was a mythical creature, in native american folklore; in tribes who lived in the northern USA. It was said to be cannibalistic, or drove people to become cannibals. But, a frivolous poem.

That illicit and mystical creature,
Was it the Navaho,
Who finally made it go?,

Tell me,
It's not so,
But where did the Wendigo go?,

Did it sink beneath the snow ❄️?,
Or carried away upon an ice flow?,
Down river to do no harm?,

You should be alarmed..!

The Wendigo spirit,
Still holds sway,
From the hearts of men,
It takes away,

The vestige of humanity,
What little remains,
Consumes your flesh,
And taps your veins,

Supplanted by "Big Foot"?,
His hairy big brother?,
Still a fearsome spirit,
He's like no other..!

Not frivolous, I think, but playful. A good thing to talk about the wendigo... and the others. Quite possibly, a Hopi elder knows of a cave where the wendigos go, along with thunderbirds, big foot, and a few Chupacabra's. I enjoyed this clever poem.
I actually saw a very large bird when I was about 14. With a wingspan way over ten feet, I don't think it was anything normal.

Thanks, Samuel. I remember that you were using this site, when I first found it; many years ago. I returned, after a long gap. Keep writing yourself too.

Welcome back, my friend.

This needs to be illustrated, well done sir.

A very nicely written poem, although I'm not familiar with the figure,
but it sounds like a tale
