Poems for Palestine is dedicated to the people of Palestine who's long struggle for freedom and independence has been an inspiration to aspiring poets expressing the anguish, hopes, and dreams of the Palestinian people.  This website is intended to be a portal to collect poems and publish these poems for the world to see and enjoy.  It has many tools at your disposal such as the ability to upload an audio or/and video file with your poem.  And as a reader you can search by author or title and you can scroll through the list of all poems (under search all).  You can also rate the poem, review it and email it to a friend.   Ultimately, a book of selected poems will be published in the near future and the proceeds will be donated to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund.  I encourage everyone to donate to this organization that provides desperately needed  medical relief to the young victims of war.  Please enjoy this website and feel free to leave any comments/suggestions by emailing me at mmassis@aol.com. Thank you.
