Becoming the Sea

Becoming the sea
I thought that I thought something
then I wasn't shore

Europe on the Train

Europe on the train
French bread, cheese and cheap red wine
crumbs always remain

Buicks

Our father drove Buicks
we knew that we would succeed
the road had been paved

Dog Whistlers

Of course dogs whistle
mostly old country tunes
sad we can't hear them

Robins Haiku

Indian River, Ontario

Audio Recordings, Haiku, Nature, Travel / tagged Beauty, Birds, Water / May 7, 2026 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Above waterfall
in circle of highest pine
green showers down

By the waterfall
body rests in hammock
cells rush to the sea

Below waterfall
power beyond soap and rub
washes off city

Lying on the bank
trees holding blue hammock
lift it to the sky

Indian River
great blue heron stands
wise Tibetan monk

Series of Haiku inspired by a visit to the Swinwoods

Missing Georgian Bay

Missing Georgian Bay
with its many shades of grey
and a million years a day
