Sadness Behind the Mask

From all those who alight
They need not know my piles
Or wonder about my daily trials

Postmeridian Cynosure Reflected in Morning Light

By Michael Shawn Sommermeyer | August 22, 2018August 22, 2018 by Michael Shawn Sommermeyer

Above the mountain purple skies
Reaching to touch the morning star
A black ribbon afar
Space touches the planet breath
Then exhaling the night’s death

A Summer Respite

By Michael Shawn Sommermeyer | July 24, 2018August 14, 2018 by Michael Shawn Sommermeyer

The koy pond sat still.
All the fish deep seeking cold.
Temps high near 100.
Purple flowers love the heat.
Webbed frogs burrow in mud.
