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

Brothers

Audio Recordings, Nature / tagged Contentment, evolution, Fish, Meditation, Peace / April 20, 2026 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

We clean the pond
the better to see
the multi-coloured koi

The better to meditate upon
their seeming happy life

No evidence of any urge
to grown legs adapt lungs
and join us in the race

Feeding the Koi

Audio Recordings, Haiku, Nature / tagged Fish / April 19, 2026 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Prideful as peacocks
accepting dues that beauty earns
turn and swim away

Backyard Austin

Audio Recordings, Haiku, Nature / tagged Fish, Geology / April 15, 2026 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Backyard Austin
Limestone rings the pool
koi swim in ancient sea

April in Austin

Audio Recordings, Haiku, Nature, Remembering / tagged Memory, Scent, Spring / April 14, 2026 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

After the rain
mountain laurel become
lilacs of childhood
