"Soldier Killed in Iraq Mourned."

a poem by Sal Buttaci

 

I was heartened to learn I was the recipient of the $500.00 AZsacra International Poetry Award For Taj Mahal Review's December 2007 issue.  The winning poem "Soldier Killed in Iraq Mourned" came straight from the heart, a memorial poem for a young man from Lodi, New Jersey, named Vincenzo Romeo, who gave his life on the battlefield so that all Americans can be free.
 
Recently, I spoke with Vincenzo's parents to let them know I am forwarding to them a copy of the Taj Mahal Review in which my winning poem appears.  I thanked them for their son's courage and sacrifice.
 
Cyber-wit Publishers has done much to promote the literary word in poetry and fiction.  It is an honor to be one of their published poets and contest recipients.
