A Garden Blessing

Environment, Nature / tagged Faith, Garden, Spring / May 22, 2020 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Today all day the loving rain
has fallen on the new set plants

There are no
atheists in the trenches
and none watching from this window

The Ice Retreats

Farm, Nature, Ranch Life / tagged Spring / April 28, 2020 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Spring has come to Saskatchewan
More light in the sky means less on the ground
The ice retreats and mud is king again — South shore Old Wives Lake, Saskatchewan

It is April in Austin
Corona virus reigns
and Monarch butterflies return
You may choose to which
you will bend a knee

Waterfront

Nature, Ranch Life / tagged Birds, Nesting, Spring / April 19, 2020 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

In the city you pay
a million for
a lot along the shore

Where the alkali flats
meet Wood River’s lacks
of so much as a single tree
the mud hen builds for free

Redbuds in the Rain

Haiku, Nature, Travel / tagged Spring / March 12, 2020 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Springtime in Texas
Aint all six-guns and high hair
redbuds in the rain

Texas Ain’t Saskatchewan

Haiku, Nature, Travel / tagged Spring / March 11, 2020 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Texas Aint Saskatchewan
Rumors of springtime
no snow melt of pasture crocus
no sure way to tell

Justifying Haiku

Haiku, Nature, Poems about Poetry / tagged Spring / March 10, 2020 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Right and left they try
syllables pressure enough
it's spring let them fly

Earthworm Dance

Audio Recordings, Nature / tagged Spring / May 6, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Think about earthworms dancing
in the earth
like dolphins in the sea

Pretend you can see through the earth
speed them up a little in your mind
watch the grace of their movements

Play your favourite music
watch them dance

And while they dance they eat the dark
and leave lightness behind

The robins are back
red of breast and blue of egg
spring in every step

Tis Folly in Springtime to be Wise
