Lantana Manna

Trees and Poets 
grow from the inside out 

The latest lines and rings
greenest and most beautiful

Lantana – favorite flower of beloved Austin poet Patricia Fiske (1927 – 2020)

Spring 2022

Audio Recordings, Nature, News / tagged Covid19, Flowers, Hope, Trees, War / March 20, 2022 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com
Unaware of war
redbuds are budding, bluebells blooming

Unaware of Covid 
they smile their unmasked smiles

Not kept awake by fear all night
shining examples in the morning light

Covid Cactus

Audio Recordings / tagged Covid19, Flowers / December 22, 2021 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com
It was called a Christmas cactus
for blooming faithful on that day

Jumped queue to solstice this year 
which could be attributed to fear

Better party when you can
before it all shuts down again

Front porch Austin. Flower held by equally lovely Evelise

A Garden Going On

Audio Recordings, Family, Remembering / tagged Flowers, Mother / June 14, 2021 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com
Yellow roses
remind me of mother
Though the dead be not dead
am I the only way 
she gets to see and smell them

Red

Red,—red, and startling like a trumpet’s sound. - Toru Dutt

The poppies are popping again
to remind us once more to find
 
A child’s surprise in our eyes
no matter how many or often

And you again each morning

Hope in the Garden

Honey bee hovers
poppy waits in coloured glee
another chance day

This week in our Edmonton garden
