The graceful ballet
My work almost completed
The gloomy gray sky

Explore your shadows
Allow yourself to feel joy
Fear of loneliness

coastal sunset -
dropping into the sea also
the juggler's ball

Blank sheet. Empty head.
Ideas not forthcoming.
Wastepaper bin full

Jobless, indebted -
battles with insanity 
- writes haiku shaiku

Work, as fun as death
More, more, more, they want always
Sweet relief, paycheck.

In the deepest part
of myself
Sits a work of art

winding down
distant farmhouse kitchen light
harsh winter night

Teamwork could happen.
Challenge to get ahead now.
Expect some to crash.

You want to set goal
Big enough that in the process of achieving it
You become someone worth becoming

Morning rooster calls
Daylight breaks the horizon
Time for work lets go

Omniscient guy
Yet he lets bad things happen
How can he exist?

I work all the time
never have time for myself
wore out unhappy

Pipit is calling...
Pleasant bird song fills the air
Tired face lives in hope

Soccer is the best sport
It's tough on the mind and body 
It is rewarding.

Offseason is hard
But it separates the weak
And builds up the strong.

Glorious riches
No sleep or time
A wicked hero

Timetabled breathing,
All else is irrelevant:
Exams are too much.

I am surrounded 
Coughing here and coughing there
Where do I escape

Edward J Ebbs - January 17, 2015

aerial viewing
outstretched crows flying frenzy
harvest festival

Sitting at my desk.
Time is ticking slowly by. 
Can I go home yet?

Lookin' after pests
Keepin' a CLOSE eye on 'em
"Those wild animals!"

Roamin' around zoo
Searchin' for sneaky monkey
Hidin' in a tree

Zookeeper gets mad
"Where's Marty, the smartypants!?"
"He TOOK my cage keys!"

god did good with what
he had to work with consid-
ering 'twas nothing

much shorter days now
the temperature falls at night
harvest moon provides 

Written for Brian's contest

Her one kidney was damage
The money for her treatment -
She could not manage!

No no no no no,
I need another Sunday.
No no no no Monday.

On a sunny holiday
The rickshaw-puller
Goes on working all day long!

morning frost twinkles
      while rancher sips coffee and
              whiffs new arrivals

I quite like Haikus.
They are short and fun to write.
sometimes...they work out.

There is just something,
not the personality,
but something that works.

Sometimes they become
More than simply ordered lines.
They are poetry.

Young pulsating eyes
Arch over dry hieroglyphs;
What does it all mean?

Here I sit at work
watching snow tumbling down
thinking about home

a man is working
for the benefit of all --
true altruism

Exam time returns;
Text-submerged teens imitate
Rodin’s ‘The Thinker’.

He buys and sells all,
but says no to Satan 'cause
his soul is nailed down.

an art piece of work
blithe elated and joyful
intoxicated

Like a hamster wheel,
the cycle never stops for
you to keep up. Breathe...
