Blooming Anyway

Audio Recordings, Poems about Poetry, Relationships / tagged Art & Artists, Covid19, Separation / July 7, 2021 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Stone walls do not a prison make - Richard Lovelace

Though we be apart
memory roots yet connect
and bloom in our art

Exceptions

There are those who. say
that animals have no souls

I am not so sure

There are animals who look at certain humans

and are not sure either

A Leaf in a Million

Audio Recordings, Nature / tagged Aging, Seasons / July 4, 2021 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Could I adopt a leaf in bud and cheer its birth
would be all I'd need to know of spring
Follow its green shade from dawn to dusk
all I'd need to know of summer
Marvel at the colours of its fruited wisdom
all I'd need to know of fall
And when it falls, as all must fall
act the un-grim raker

Heat Wave Haiku

Audio Recordings, Environment, Haiku, Poems about Poetry / July 3, 2021 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

In weather not fit
for a man or doggerel
put down pen lift drink

Reversing the Poles

Audio Recordings, Farm, Nostalgia, Ranch Life, Travel / July 1, 2021 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

With bar magnets
and small-town youth growing old

Sometimes that which repelled
can become that which attracts

And telephone lines
on the left when you left
welcome you back on the right
