What a superb subject you've chosen for this poem, and your rhyme is right-on. I enjoyed this very much (but I would have liked to see even more of it).
Nicely done. Best of luck.

Hi,
Indeed, he was that alright. This is beautifully penned and presented.
Sometimes I think we are taking steps backwards with all the unrest. So sad to see the lines drawn in the sand of bigotry.
I sadly believe that what's left of my lifetime, we'll never see the unrest be gone.
Wonderful job with this one. The best of luck to you in the contest.
Cheers & Blessings

Comment from Spiritual Echo
Witout ever thinking about it when Martin Luther King day rolled around this year I discovered that the man was only in his thirties.
He likely never had a speech writer and spoke each word from the heart and eventually (although in hindsight) at a very young age was silenced.
Well done.

He did a lot to fight for all races to have equal opportunities and he made a lot of progress before his horrible death. This was a great tribute and with good imagery too. Your friend, Cody

Comment from RYME4U
This is done well. There is a "near-rhyme" in the first two lines but it is close enough to qualify as a rhyme. Nice tribute to Dr, King and all he has done for equal rights for all.Good job!

Thanks for giving me feedback, with the help of OneLook Dictionary search, I corrected the mistake.
It now reads "A man of honor who heard our cries," and etc.
Comment from ladywiltse
Definitely a great person to write about in this quatrain Artura. His position on human rights definitely did lift us to new heights. Good job. Good luck in the contest.
