Matthew Anish Poet Verse

A Fine Postcard

In my collection
    a card oof Martin Luther King
    has taken its posistion among the other cards
I have bought or traded for
Shot down like a dog 
     He tried to bring peace to a harsh, troubled world
Died young
     He knew what he was getting into when he 
began to agitate 
   He is missed by many
Martin Luther King

Joe Maverick April 25, 2012 at 11:51 PM Yes isn't it strange how the belief that fired him communicated itself to so many others Matthew, good to read your piece here.

Andrea Dietrich April 24, 2012 at 6:50 PM This could be on the back of that postcard as a tribute to him, Matt. And a big congrats to your haiku win. Is that haiku here at Soup so we may see it? Wilberforce was the guy behind getting slavery abolished in England! (focus of the movie: Amazing Grace). Check over your poem here for typos among first three lines. Luv, Andrea
