Madness Reigns

Madness reigns
as the tormentor
waves her magic wand —
stirring, whirling, executing
the perfect storm

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

Spinning

Catch me when I fall
I’m dancing on the edge as shapes and shadows merge
Catch me when I fall

Tri-Haiku II (Seagull)

In a summer sky
Wings spread wide to swoop and soar
Seagull flying by

Walking, she bends over
Showing voyeurs everything
Naughty thrill for both.

Umbrella Love

If love were an umbrella
it might shield and shelter
it might cover and offer protection
from time moving, raging, clanking

but what if it was more

With Grace

Mine’s the only beach hut open
yet the sun is shining bright
The beach is quite resplendent
but there’s no one else in sight

Transitory

As clouds cannot one moment hold their form,
So life moves on through weariness and mirth,
And death is more significant than birth.

Finding My Way

If
I am lost
I take a moment

Tri-Yellow

Halcyon feel of yellow
my colour every time
Happiness exuded
for my soul to shine

The world within

We are the body electric
Our cells sense differences
In the electricities around us

HAIKU: A MORNING RITUAL

By Charles Robert Lindholm

A Morning Ritual

Afraid of Alone

If I were you I might be nervous
If I were you I might be afraid
afraid that your carefully constructed facade is cracked
afraid to face the face in the mirror that never lies
lies told again and again don’t make truth
lies told for purposes of your own making

Tower Bridge

London’s skyline, Tower Bridge
viewed from way up high
You don’t see views like this most days
beneath a cloud-filled sky

The sunshine on the River Thames
The Shard across the way
This really is spectacular
on this lovely autumn day

Lonesome Loser

In time, he was once, twice, three times afflicted
Burdened with a broken heart built to appease
some wondered what scenes his mind’s eye depicted

Every Ocean

3 of 3

Sailed every ocean
over several years
They’ve given me joy
and also some tears
Yet great as they are
I will always defer
to the sea here in Sussex
the one I prefer

Beauty and Imperfection

Vulnerabilities as treasures collected
Unafraid to begin again, again
Masterpieces painted with each imperfection

Mysteries hidden among the unexpected
Celebrating those cracks every now and then
Vulnerabilities as treasures collected

Many Oceans

2 of 3

Sailed many oceans
but the one I love most
is the strip of the channel
off the Sussex coast
For its here that my heart
just knows it’s at home
with the sea on the doorstep
all my life I have known

Forever Love

It was because she dared to care
floating, flying, dancing on air
Her devotion was historic
her mood open and euphoric
to find he was hers and she was his

Several Oceans

1 of 3

Sailed several oceans
then came home for a rest
as the ocean of home
is always the best
For it’s here that my heart
with the sea that I know
will always stay true
wherever I go

Dream

Pigs they oinked till late
Their mother’s scent wafted
Smoke rings up the air
Moon gave a sigh under the voices
They had no night to dream

Secret

2018-10-05

secrets they stand out
high up, pointed in the ends
in our lives, of spotted gold
in hurry, our nemesis in stone
eyes too close, will see not the end

Style

time, it gazed at me
till I dropped my past
truths fold in style

Colors

2018-10-09

pastels rolled their song
into the world we sit upon
sides in dark hem the Sun
colours fuse steady wings

Eyes open
My brain begins its call,
