Poetry, Earthquake in Haiti and Relief Efforts

The news has been abuzz today with follow-up stories on the earthquake in Haiti. I wrote a Twitter poem about the earthquake:

Fragile ships
on waves of land.
Houses folded.
Fairy tales
fallen off the walls
& only we
can put Haiti
back together again.
~

You can view photos of the aftermath of the earthquake here and here.

It could have been any of us in a natural disaster. What if that was your home shattered and your family injured? If we don't help, who will?
