A Poem

SUMMERTIME
Skin is sensing the scintillating sizzle of summer sun,
Under the umbrella of undulating nebulas above.
Meandering mothers mooing in meadows amid this,
Magnificent Missouri morning.
Even the ever-engaging Earth emits its energy, I,
Remain relaxed in rare respite.
Troubles take time to tarry,
If I invoke the eidolon ideal,
Master of motionless measure,
Ending in the easy ebony evening.

Loved the alliteration (consonance) and you even snuck some assonance into the mix! So very clever to make it an acrostic!!
