- Legend Of Michael Jackson -


Our great icon Michael Jackson, born "black and white"
To "heal the world" was his fight
His dance and song, like hand in glove it fit
Until the day we saw "this is it"

Great poem, so much can be said in so little words, if written with passion and insight, this poem says alot about the legend of pop without having to go into too much detail. Ive never heard of a clerihew poem, I never knew there were so many different names for poems, I have alot I have to learn.

nice tribute to an odd man, but amazing entertainer. 9 years ago I had the pleasure of meeting and treating MJ and his family to dinner in Orlando Fl. It was a very surreal experience to say the least.

The late Michael Jackson was amazing. Thriller back in old MTV was the greatest, what a loss.

Yes indeed. His was a short but very interesting life. A very talented entertainer. I saw him when he first entered the business as a small boy with his brothers. He was such a handsome little guy but too much plastic surgery trying to stay young looking made him look un-natural. Like what is happening to Dolly Parton. Great job. God Bles, JB
