The musician in me just LOVES the timbre of his voice!! I'm so glad you chose this video.

Wonderful and informative poem (so sad that he thought he'd caused his grandmother's heart attack. Oy!) with a full-throttle meter and strong rhyming scheme, both of which MLK would have appreciated, I am sure, being such an expressive orator, himself.

Yet another very enjoyable read!!

I enjoy reading this poem about the famous Martin Luther King, his family history and his life. I have learnt so much from this rhyming poem. I also like the optimistic attitude by King in the end.

Excellent.

So very moving, and so well researched. I know I say it every time but your brilliant tribute poems are all six-worthy. Poetry which moves, challenges and inspires, and are technically excellent. Wonderful work, a credit to your skill and craftsmanship.

Thank you for this wonderful biography on Martin Luther King Junior. I knew only a few highlights and that was it. I had no idea he was 39 when he was assassinated. What could've been accomplished if he had lived a normal life span? Thanks so much for doing the research and putting it into your usual lovely poetic form. It was pure joy to read. Julie

I'm deeply moved at the way you put this piece together sister. time I read anything you write it takes me to a different place. Never-the-less, well done, very weal done indeed. Not only was the poem remarkable . The research was also spot on! You are truly in a place of high regard, and I can only hope to be sprinkled with your gift, of explaining life through words so eloquently.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr preached that ALL people are created equal. I honestly believe he wouldn't be at all happy with the segregation that has taken over our country right now. Thank you for sharing this inspirational man with us.

Hi Debbie,
You do so much fact checking before you write these rhyming biographies,
They remind us of so much we have forgotten since school and teach more then the schools did of his past.
Keep writing and stay healthy;
Enjoy the upcoming week.
