It figures; the year I leave New Hampshire is the year they FINALLY celebrate MLK day. About frickin' time. But I'm not leavin' Cali.  Mike -January 15th- Even when my eyes let go tears, I know we'll find our way. Atonement, reconciliation and love Won't just be entries in a dictionary. Almanacs and encyclopedias, movies and songs, Will shout in human glory. I know someday we'll find our way; You'll be more than just a story. Mr. King, thank you. Thank you, Mr. King. We will find our way. |

I actually thought to see more poetry in tribute to Martin Luther King...you have made that step, and a wonderful tribute at that!!! (It's sad that more people would probably be celebrating this day if it were a paid holiday  )Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

Mike- How ironic that you titled your piece January 15 ... Martin Luther King, Jr's real birthdate. Well, the nation threw one helluva party yesterday in remembrance of the 'dream' of a giant among peace seekers. Your tribute is well-taken by this lady. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Great tribute, Mike! Lovely poem! btw you can change the title under the edit function! Denise And slight is the sting of his trouble Whose winnings are less than his worth; For he who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortunes or birth.~~~Alice Cary, ~Nobility~ |

Mike, Enjoyed your poem in honor of Dr. King...and why not leave the title? January 15 is his actual birthday, so you did fine. Claire |

Phew... I THOUGHT I'd put 15 for some resaon. I guess subconsciously, I remembered it as MLK b-day. Though, embarrassingly, I could've SWORN yesterday was the 15th. And I work at a newspaper. Yikes! Mike ( so today's the 16th, right? ) |
