Foothills Evening

Audio Recordings, Nature / tagged Appreciation, Beauty, Flowers, Mountains, Observation, Spring, Sunset, Wonder / April 25, 2025 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Purple crocus round your feet
Mountains twenty miles away
Sun 93 million and fading
Can your eye be everywhere

The Brevity of Spring

Audio Recordings, Nature / tagged Perspective / April 24, 2025 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

It is spring here
and, until the brain
in its spoilsport way
broke in
It was spring everywhere

Runoff

Audio Recordings, Haiku, Nature / tagged Joy, Melting, Seasons, Spring, Water / April 22, 2025 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

The children of spring
are racing down the mountains
eating dessert first

Watching Limbs for Leaves

Audio Recordings, Haiku, Nature / tagged Anticipation, Hope, Spring, Survival / April 21, 2025 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Watching limbs for leaves
Which made it through cold winter
Much joy some mourning

Rainbows of Shalott

Audio Recordings, Nature, Poems about Poetry / tagged Curses, Observation, Science, Tennyson, The Lady of Shalott / April 15, 2025 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Light they say can be
either a particle or a wave
depending on the person watching

Knowing this I cautiously
watch all rainbows in a mirror now

Raising the Titanic

Audio Recordings, Nature / tagged Aging, Death, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Illusions, Time, Wellness, Youth / April 14, 2025 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

with gratitude to Dr. Joe

Remember when we were old
and used to spend all of our gold
on lotions and potions and medics galore
and every new fat at the health food store

Tar for the seams of a sinking ship
thinking we were near the end of the trip

But if time
is but a wrinkle in thought
just think of all that we've got

Today marks the 113th anniversary of the sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic.

Question for Basho II

Audio Recordings, Haiku, Nature, Poems about Poetry / tagged Aging, Youth / April 9, 2025 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Old frog leaps again
why does he get all the ink
young frog leaps farther

Question for Basho

Audio Recordings, Haiku, Nature, Poems about Poetry / tagged Aging, Flowers, Fruit, Maturity / April 8, 2025 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Haiku is always
crushing on cherry blossoms
what about cherries

Walden Pond

Audio Recordings, Environment, Nature, Poems about Poetry / tagged Spring / April 3, 2025 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Springtime in the center
of a Walden Pond of sound

Small frog leaps in
fish jumps

Log rolls in from bank
beaver slaps his tail

Four swans float by
wakes overlapping

Pecan drops from
an overhanging tree

Water-fly skims
wood duck cycles wingtips

Pocohantas dips a paddle
I float

The Ignorance of Spring

Audio Recordings, Nature / tagged Appreciation, Birds, Flowers / April 2, 2025 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

This one morning, the only one
there are bluebonnets
and flowers many more
that I feel no need to name
and birdsong from birds the same
that I will not cease
from looking up to look up in a book
