Poet Sam Hammill was invited to have lunch at the White House with Laura Bush on February 12th to celebrate the Voice of the American Poet. Sam sent out a request to all poets for a poem or letter of conscience to include in an anthology to present to The First Lady. Not surprisingly, the luncheon was canceled. The anthology, however, exists. Visit http://poetsagainstthewar.org/

Here, my contribution of Haiku:

red drops gleam

catching setting sun's last rays

father, brother scream

blood seeps from her

the setting sun's light warms

our dying mother's face

rockets explode

a butterfly of color

in my father's chest

toddler falls

neighbors fleeing

crush her limbs

eight years old

my back against a stone house wall

I watch neighbors die

bombs threaten children

nation's leader's ladies

gather for lunch and poems
