Ice Storm (Texas 2021)

Audio Recordings, Limerick, Travel / February 17, 2021 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

There was a fine lady from Maine
who found northern winters a pain

So she came down to Texas
slipped and fell where she flexes

And she won’t come the same way again

Breathing in Winter

Audio Recordings, Nature, Relationships / February 15, 2021 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

In Saskatchewan in winter
your breath is certainly plain to see
And while I don't actually believe the story that you can warm it in a frying pan and hear all the words again
I can't help thinking how nice it would be if I could just inhale really, really hard
And get back that awful dumb thing I said to you this morning

A Gift in Winter

Audio Recordings, Nature / February 14, 2021 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Sometimes in the long dark of a winter night the Swarovski fairy will pop by and wand each tree to crystal
Run into the streets and woods
and thank her in the slant-light dawn
before the burning envy of the sun cancels out the spell

Cold

Audio Recordings, Poems about Poetry / February 11, 2021 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Forty below in Celsius
is forty below in Fahrenheit

Suffering is often involved

In Canada they make jokes
In Russia they make poems

At these temperatures
the blood from a Russian poet
freezes on the way to the ground

They break off the icicle
and Hara-kiri it into the next stanza

Masks of Love

Audio Recordings, Relationships / tagged Covid19 / February 9, 2021 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

You are not
alone in your caring

By covering your face
I can see who you are

Covid Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

Audio Recordings, Relationships / tagged Covid, Valentine / February 8, 2021 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Covid makes
the heart grow fonder
If you take a mo to ponder

Far apart or locked tight in
what you might lose gives will to win

Don’t die, don’t kill. Best Valentine gift this year

The Hint

Audio Recordings, Personal Growth / tagged Faith, Magic, Spirit, Wonder / February 7, 2021 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

You don’t have
to say it out loud

But haven’t you, at least once
been touched by the unexplained

and wondered
