Whither the Fates Carry
Whither the Fates Carry
Anchors aweigh in 1609, Anno Domini!
A convoy of ships laden with cargo set sail
And departed Plymouth harbour to cross the Atlantic
For Jamestown, Virginia, in the New World.
But a hurricane wreaked havoc in...

Round 1 New York Won
Round 1: New York won!
By Brett Somers
Written 10-13-2018
Like a ghost in the shadows
New York
People and places and vaporware faces
New York
Experience of magnitude
To have everything in the world
Yet what at all?
Transient position
Always moving
New York
Cool spots,...

Thought Springs From Winter's Dreams
Thought Springs from Winter’s Dreams
Written By Brett Somers
2-20-17
Times are rolling.
Focused, pleased with the world indeed.
When Winter whispers, “Spring is near,”
Mind disperses,
Heart expands,
As the warm gusts float in.
And with breath exhaled,
Time begins a stagnant...

Oxygen Rushes In To Me
Oxygen Rushes In To Me
Written By Brett Somers
12-19-16
The audible plunge,
On a Somers night.
Cleansing site.
My hands free of this fight.
I leaned back to throw.
In my hand a small window.
Moon kissed a glow.
Eyes fixed beyond what I...

Flit and Spin
Flit and Spin
By Brett Somers
Mind sticking round and round.
Loneliness is that sticking sound.
No pillows of comfort
Nor footstep, firm ground.
Why does my loneliness stick?
My ears make me sick.
Meddlesome they play.
Which way, which way.
Decisively I sway.
Meadows sit...

The Life of a Drop
The Life of a Drop
By Brett Somers
Written 3-14-16
A drop patiently awaits
A fate it cannot abate
A sprinkle in time
A moment closer to flow
It already knows.
Down it will go
With each midst
It doesn’t resist
With each expansion
Grows...

Squirrels Know Better
Squirrels Know Better
Written By Brett Somers
On 3-17-16
Does a squirrel know it made a mess?
Does it worry its scurry
Is second best?
Ravishing nuts
Discarding shells
Leaves flying
Amongst dust feather tails
When it bolts up a tree
Does it complain about...

If Plants Could Talk
Written by Brett Somers
On 4-20-2016
Oh Sun, thank you one.
Treat me soil thy toil my oil.
Eat me critters.
Nibble on my under leaf.
That tickles when you hold me so.
Wind blow stronger,
I can withstand you.

The Life of a Flame
Life of a Flame
By Brett Somers
Arched over its wick,
calmly swaying,
now moves with a flick.
In this moment,
it lives,
a hot yellow flame,
so soft, so beautiful,
yet intense,
powerful.
And rides above
a waxy caldera,
feeding from
its...

I Love You from You
Written By Brett Somers
On 4/10/16
When feeling down
And the world is crashing ‘round
Someone’s loving words
Can hold your heart profound
Your day lighter
Your step brighter
And when their love is remiss
Or you’re lacking in...

How To Crack a Coconut
How to Crack a Coconut
By Brett Somers
Written 3-15-16
Inside me
Lies a fresh coconut
Sweet water
Hard shell
Flesh that deceives
The true heart of a coconut
The sweetness inside.
Shell of pride
A fear that won’t subside
Shell of rage
Heaps of a critic’s eye.
To...

Moonbeam Mari Anne
The Moonbeam Mari Anne
A poem by Brett Somers
The moonbeam graced the Austin sky,
The Mari Anne spirit whisking by. Spreading her love,
Her mysterious zest,
Manifesting turquoise upon my chest.
And back she slipped,
Beyond Austin...
