Tri-haiku XXXIII (Heaven)

Afternoon sunshine
in June, deliciously hot
I am in heaven

But it is a place
on earth, as Belinda said
and she was quite right

Nowhere else I would
further be this afternoon
than right here right now

IS HEAVEN FOR YOU?

By Charles Robert Lindholm

You Stand Condemned
Of Being Complicit
If You Remain Silent
And Approving

CHRISTMAS HAIKU: CHRISTMAS EVERY DAY – 2019 REPRISE

By Charles Robert Lindholm

Christmas Every Day

NO ONE WILL WONDER

By Charles Robert Lindholm

When
We’re Dancing
With The Angels
No One Will Wonder

Farewell but not goodbye

Today we say farewell to you
but definitely not goodbye
For some day we will meet again
when comes the day we die

So here’s to you our Mother dear
we’ll miss you, that’s the truth
But you are in a better place
A smiling John and Ruth

Heaven for all

Let’s face it, its only
when we get there we’ll know
at the end of the race
who will get there to go

But I’m these days convinced
that there’ll be no exceptions
for that is a failing
of mankind’s perception

a plain heaven

A version of heaven –
through vertical blinds

IS HEAVEN FOR YOU?

You Stand Condemned
Of Being Complicit
If You Remain Silent

Earth, neither Hell nor Heaven

First published in my blog, http://www.fleetingmuse.wordpress.com, on August 5, 2018.

Neither afraid of hell,
Nor enamored of heaven,
I am that fallen angel

Heaven sent

Lavender is heaven sent
bringing peace and contentment
typified with fragrant scent
expressed here in this sentiment

Summer knows

Purple fields
fragrance high
sunshine bright
deep a sigh
Lavender
in perfect rows
ripe for harvest
summer knows

Faith, Creation and Creator

Rose is a rose
By any other name
Creator, not sanctioned by
One’s own faith
Why is not the same

HAIKU: OFF BEATEN PATHWAYS

By Charles Robert Lindholm

 

I cannot wander

too far off beaten pathways

HAIKU: HEAVEN TO ME

By Charles Robert Lindholm 

Waking up each day

I SHALL KEEP MY EYES ON YOU

A RESPONSE POEM TO “Look Not On The Thorns“

By Charles Robert Lindholm 

I shall keep my eyes on you,
you are the prize for my heart
the joy of my soul
the lover I seek for my forever 

I cannot look away from you,

HAIKU: IN HAIKU HEAVEN

By Charles Robert Lindholm 

In haiku heaven

the syllables don’t matter

First Lavender II

Summer brings a fragrance
which is heaven in a scent
Sweet lavender, my saving grace
my senses to augment

Fly Away to Heaven

“O that I had wings like a dove,
For then would I fly away and be at rest!”
Frequently I have yearned within my breast

A little box of heaven

I have a little box of heaven
which I’m watching carefully
As I’ve nurtured every seedling
as you would quite naturally

And yes, I know they’re on the small side
but they’re growing all the time
So I’m confident that fairly soon
I’ll be rewarded with a sign

Plane Food

Out the window
the
World is a tiny place
and
All of the boundaries disappear

Now we are above the clouds

Eight Miles

Eight miles took us past the Ring
where the view as ever was
breathtaking in the sunshine
on the South Downs here because
(and I know that some will argue)
but this is heaven here on earth
A place that God has smiled upon
and with riches given worth
