Haiku Postcards to President Obama




Split This Rock had collected many haiku postcards for President Obama at AWP. Here are some of our favorite haikus:


WATER RISING, RAIN
ON THE WORLD ---FROM THE DRY HEIGHTS
BAILING OUT THE BANKS

Lyle Daggett





The nation breathed fear,
drank wartime like cheap courage,
seeks hang over cure

Dan Vera





Keep your humble head.
The earth is in your corner.
Sing like words are water.

Qiana Towns





Barack Obama
the Republicans do not
glitter like you do.

CWINROCK





Boy picks up a stick
rattles it across the fence.
Lonely yards listen.

Bryan Fry





A black man's throat splits
White house air into music:
tears come to my eyes

L. Alleyne





WE CAN NOT FIND JOBS.
There is no food inside our
Refrigerator.

Andrea
