Haiku Jeanne Powell                       I twin towers blasted from that Big Apple skyline innocence has fled               II Afghani winters for invaders seeking spoils decades of defeat                       III a crimson sunset night fires burning til dawn Afghanistan bleeds               IV brilliant red poppies adorn the freshly turned earth home is the warrior                       V wide young eyes harvest grief etched in a widow's gaze the last full measure Jeanne Powell has published three collections of poetry - February Voices, Cadences, and Tangerine Dance. She runs three poetry reading series in San Francisco.
