April in Austin

After the rain
mountain laurel become
lilacs of childhood

The Reds of Spring

Audio Recordings, Nature / tagged Easter, Good Friday, Jesus Christ, Spring / April 3, 2026 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

A radiance of cardinals
an inebriation of winecups

Indian paintbrush
in a field of bluebonnets

Easter running down his ribs

Another for the Cat

Audio Recordings, Nature / tagged Cats, pets, Spring, Wild Animals / April 1, 2026 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

It's spring again
and the cat won't stay in
feralmones must be kicking in

Light on Leaves

Audio Recordings, Nature / tagged Fall, Seasons, Spring, Trees / November 2, 2025 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

From earliest spring
kaleidoscopes of green
as sun and wind turn the screen

And in fall
the most beautiful twirls of all

Somewhere near you
there will likely be a tree - Go see

Waxwings

Audio Recordings, Flight, Nature / tagged Birds, Joy, Spring / August 19, 2025 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Waxwings
drunk on berries and spring
are partying wild in our yard

Brother Icarus feeling such joy
might have too neared the sun
at the top of a loop like that

Flying Into Rain

Audio Recordings, Farm, Ranch Life, Travel / tagged Agriculture, Gratitude, Spring / May 17, 2025 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Mid-May and rain
rivers across airplane window
as we land in Regina Saskatchewan

The crops are all in and no frost so far
an election has just affirmed some sanity
at a time when it grew thin on the ground

Manna drops and keeps on dropping

Hymn books around here should contain
worship and thanks for the three day rain

The Crocus

Audio Recordings, Nature, Ranch Life / tagged Birds, Spring / May 13, 2025 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Loud crows and bright robins
promise an early spring

But they are of the sky
and can be easily fooled

Only the crocus knows

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

Reasons to Remember Dreams

Audio Recordings / tagged Blooming, Dreams, Flowers, Spring / April 23, 2025 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

PtuP PtuP PtuP spit-pop
sounds from blossom bush
turning out to be
buds to full flowers instantly

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
