Bright Sun

Husband and dog nap.

Child plays with Legos. Quiet.

The bright sun pours in.

Enemies Within

The muscles tremble

Distraction, inaction, mind

Enemies within

Walt Disney Grave Spin

Father-son bonding

“Farts are sneezes your butt makes!”

Poor Walt Disney – grave spin!

Monster Slaying Milestone

michaelsomers — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 02:59:17 +0000

Dad, monster slayer

Block bogeymen, zap goblins

Snuggle til he sleeps

Motherless Child

michaelsomers — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 17:09:35 +0000

His grief had no words

Crumpled face, baby-like shrieks

A motherless child

Silent Gratitude

michaelsomers — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 20:47:28 +0000

All words seem to fail

What needs to be said cannot

Silent gratitude

No Kisses

michaelsomers — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 03:29:32 +0000

Head pulling away

“I don’t want any kisses!”

Tough to give him space

Monkey Fear

michaelsomers — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 03:28:41 +0000

Fear leapt from his chest

Pounced up on me from behind

Monkey on my back

Fat Wads of Flakes

michaelsomers — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 16:00:29 +0000

Fat wads of flakes fall

Slushing and frosting my world

My lens changes view

Tickle Monster

michaelsomers — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 02:53:26 +0000

Tickle Monster squeals

Tackles me, wiggles fingers

I laugh out of love
