SDW (South Downs Way)

The South Downs Way
my favourite trail
so as moments come
I'll oft regale
the pleasure I derive from this
just walking here
my perfect bliss

Beach bliss

I'm on the beach again
surprising I'd say
as it's lovely down here
on this fine summer day
and although it's a weekday
you'd have thought that some might
venture down to the beach
to enjoy the sunlight

New Lavender II

I bought some new lavender
and new earthenware pots
to place out the front
with the best sunshine spots
I hope it does well
and adds to the joy
that lavender brings me
(let's not be coy)
for its fragrance divine
when it's growing like this
is my form of heaven
and takes me to bliss

Perfect bliss

The autumn carpet
starts to lay
on this fine Lincoln
autumn day
Gold beneath
my crunching feet
as I go walking
life is sweet

Autumnal Sun

I went back to the beach
though the summer was done
But there was still a warmth
in the autumnal sun
The sea was the same
with the waves a deep blue
reflecting the sky
with its colour and hue

HAIKU: A FLOWER BLOOMING

A Flower Blooming

Bliss III

Watching as the sun goes down
on beach huts in a row
Catching the last rays
as in Western skies quite slow
it settles on another day
and evening time comes in
with golden glow to capture
the shadows lengthening

HAIKU: A LAKE CALLED TAHOE

By Charles Robert Lindholm

Books

buckets brimless, bumble
brains bookless, babble
baked boneless, beliefs borne
bare bones, blessed books bind

Bliss by the water

Down by the waterside
in April sunshine
In the city of Bristol
with weather so fine

There’s history here
from when I was a boy
I’m re-visiting now
with an aim to enjoy

Snapshot

Once more I am waiting
on a station, it’s dark
It’s been a long day
and I was up with the lark

HAIKU: A PASSIONATE KISS

A passionate kiss

HAIKU: I’M ADDICTED

By Charles Robert Lindholm 

I was fine before

I started writing Haiku

Sunshine yellow

The beds were full of yellow dahlias
in the churchyard yesterday
Looking lovely in the sunshine
as we paused along the way
We sat and had a coffee
and admired the glorious scene
Quite the most attractive
for a while that there has been

A passionate discovery

In life I have two passions
which, I’m pleased to say
I’m blessed, as I can oft indulge
in each ‘most every day
One (you’ve guessed) is writing
as these words attest right here
Something that I love to do
and in my life hold dear

Release

 

A precious thing, the word ‘release’
the art of letting go
finding freedom in the simple things
and practice going slow
Breathing deep the fresh sea air
to capture perfect bliss
Relaxing in these moments
seeing life for what it is

Sets the sun

Sets the sun o’er golden evening
Summer’s soft call now
the heat of day slip-slides away
Cooling now, my brow

Heaven on Earth

Lay me down upon this stream
Where water glistens sweetly
Let me visualize this dream
That fills me so completely

Bliss

watched a winter sunset
From the beach on the long mile
Marvelling at its wonder
I stayed there for quite a while

Lost Coat

 

I’ve forgotten where I put my coat
But I don’t need it now
Not with this September sun
Still hot upon my brow
