Poets Against War continues the tradition of socially engaged poetry by creating venues for poetry as a voice against war, tyranny and oppression.

Three Haiku

two robins land
in the bare dogwood
the world talks of war



daffodils in darkness
the moon wanes
over the Middle East



almond blossoms drift
onto tilled garden soil
white ash of bombs

February 16, 2003, San Francisco Peace Rally Haiku (Senryu)

joan and bonnie
   in harmony for peace
      thousands of ears

              

bonnie sings and plays
   stills' "somethin's happenin' here" . . .
      her notes cry


              
joan's voice
   over the white city
      tears fill my eyes



san francisco
   300,000 in the streets
      full moon finale



peace on the airwaves
   filling the car for miles
      till only static
