Little Clouds

Audio Recordings, Nature, News / tagged Grief, Optimism, Pessimism / June 13, 2026 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Little clouds in
the new blue of their skying
are more into play than crying

Their elders on the other hand
having seen so much more
of world and war - oh how they pour

Invitation By Flower

Audio Recordings, Nature, Relationships / tagged Connection, Love / June 9, 2026 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Little lantana growing
through old bench boards

Saying Come sit with me
and we will be flowers three

Let us smile at one another
like there will never be another

Texas Ain’t Saskatchewan

Audio Recordings, Nature / tagged Spring / May 24, 2026 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Rumors of springtime
no snow melt or pasture crocus
no sure way to tell

Redbuds in the Rain

Audio Recordings, Haiku, Nature, Travel / tagged Spring / May 23, 2026 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Spring is Spring

Audio Recordings, Haiku, Nature / tagged Flowers, Spring / May 20, 2026 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Cherry blossom scent
fuelled ancient haiku flame
lilac does the same

Robins Haiku

Audio Recordings, Haiku, Nature / tagged Birds, Spring / May 19, 2026 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

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

Eagle on the Moon

Audio Recordings, Environment, Nature, Relationships / tagged Aboriginals, First Nations, Healing, Wisdom / May 11, 2026 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

When the Eagle lands on the moon
the Indian will come back
into his power

When the mother is in pain
the children who never forgot
will remind

They will have the medicine
to heal her wounds
They will sit with her while
strength returns

And the children who forgot
will remember
and bring flowers

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

150 Shades

Audio Recordings, Nature, Travel / tagged Persective / May 3, 2026 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

(for Roxy)
A hundred and fifty shades
of County Grey on Georgian Bay

There's a dog now by the dock

Like other dogs
she does not see colours well

Unlike other dogs
she lives where beauty has no need

Moon in the River

Audio Recordings, Haiku, Nature / April 25, 2026 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Moon in the river
fireflies aspire to stardom
sky is upside down
