political and peace poetry

i am very proud of some of the poetry i have written for peace poets- with the poetryman. pm has many things going on- a book through amazon, as well as, numerous blogs and collaborative efforts. the peace tree is another site i write for- and pm took it over when the previous owner needed to leave it behind. haiku is a japanese form of poetry and i love the fact that you have to boil it down to such a rigid structure. each word is carefully selected in order to convey the thought of the poet. haiku is not traditionally political but i find that the structure suits my writing style- and i am sure the ancients would understand the evolution of the genre. please- take a peek- a bit of summer reading on the internets.
