You’ll always find me smiling

You’ll always find me smiling
when the sunshine shows its face
Particularly in its summer warmth
with evidential grace
I’ll find a little corner
where I’m sheltered from the breeze
and spend some peaceful moments
‘Cos they’re always there to seize

REMINISCING

By Charles Robert Lindholm 

reminiscing
rummaging through memories
from the past
like it was a trunk
of keepsakes and souvenirs
the treasure chest of time
just waiting to be rediscovered

Something’s Off

Outside the temple,
Starving homeless beg for food
While monks drive mopeds.

Planet

The only blue planet, soon going to be barren

The greens we see, tomorrow will disappear

Warmth increasing day by day swallowing the life.

 

Cracked

The parched earth

opens its heart

in supplication

to the pregnant clouds

above,

Hanging out with William Morris

Took a trip to Standen House
Arts and Crafts atop the hill
Where the Beales once used to live
William Morris hangs out still

REALITY WAITS FOR ME

By Charles Robert Lindholm 

I wander
in dreams of possibilities
until the sun
chases away the darkness
and my dreams
with a sneaking sunrise 

Sweeping Autumn Leaves

(personal photo)

---

Windswept leaves are tousled in the breeze.

As passersby traverse under branches high.

Change

 

Bittersweet

Summer’s end

It teases mercilessly

I mourn its departure

Abandoned

Fall Welcome

Cool breezes & hot cider…

Pumpkin pies & cozy fires,

Freshly picked apples, filling baskets…

Warmed toes under thick blankets

Fallen leaves crumpling under our feet…

Children going trick-or-treat

Fall, welcome…

Oregon Summer 2017

The summer left Oregon in haste

Like an old friend that paid a visit

Then had a falling out

The rains of autumn quickly came to take her place

Quenching the land’s thirst with violent downpours

Lost in thought

 

 

A heart can never mend when it’s holding onto what can never be…

The possible seems always impossible with me, why?

YOU

You may be…
A needle in a haystack
A voice amidst noisy crowd
A star that hardly shines
A taste of finest whine

Changeable Conditions

Big sky over Leigh-on-Sea
dramatic to extreme
with rain clouds scudding twixt the blue
amongst the best I’d seen
The sunshine when it finds the room
is very warm and bright
But the rain squalls cool that down somewhat
So I’m glad I dressed up right

HAIKU: THE LAST HEART

By Charles Robert Lindholm

Yours is the last heart

THE FLAMES OF AUTUMN

By Sue Vincent and Charles Robert Lindholm 

Can you see
the first golden
flames of autumn
start to show
as the leaves burn and turn
into glorious colors
as summer drifts away
on the memories of yesterdays 

Creative synchrony

It’s not the frame

Autumn’s Glaze

Autumn’s Glaze

Lend me your hand autumn;

these changing colors that I see.

Piss Fight

“He’s a madman!”
“He’s deranged!”
So Trump and Kim
In piss fight strange.

They each need timeout in the corner,
Each of these unruly scorners.
Where’s the kindergarten teacher?
Asleep somewhere beneath the bleachers?

Do they think it’s arithmetic,
To seek out who’s the bigger dick?

 

The Hard Way

Another school year has begun. It follows days and weeks of fun,
But not for me.

Nine bells

It blew nine bells again last night
But you’d never know this morning
As, when the night time clouds had cleared
A lovely day was dawning

The sun was bright, the sky was blue
and the wind had disappeared
Something of a respite
from the cooler day we’d feared

Sandwich Delight

I love to eat
It is no lie
On wheat or rye

THE GREETING PLACE

By Charles Robert Lindholm 

There is no demarcation zone,
no welcome platform
where we can greet
with fanfare
the arrival
of the newest
and next
moment in time,
Now
