Martin Luther King Junior was a civil rights mover

and community improver. He dreamt and strove for a better now and better future.

Born before a boomer, he made an impact deep and super.

People honor him on the third Monday of the new year.

This poem MLK Jr. is in Orangevale View.

On page 13 and here’s the link to its issue:

Fitting lesson sounds like fit less in: one way to respond to a meme that’s interestin’

(and that upgrades minds so that folks aren’t just guessin’).

That meme got shared by She Doesn’t Deny Her Crazy.

Here’s the link to that meme (practical and brainy):

Recorded my reading of my poem “Worthwhile Film”. Here is the link to it:

“Worthwhile Film” can also be found in this blog (via the following link:

https://whendeadlinesbecomezombies.wordpress.com/2022/11/25/wakanda-forever-ponders-deep-with-moments-light-and-heavy/ )

and in Orangevale View‘s 12/9/2022 issue on page 5.

“Worthwhile Film” is what I’m naming a poem (about a movie that’s featuring more than one throne).

“Black Panther 2” is that film I’m hoping folks watch.

Here’s the link to my poem (or rhythmic thoughts):

Wakanda Forever ponders deep with moments light and heavy,

Wakanda Forever ponders deep with moments light and heavy,

echoing, insightful, and thankful through memory.

A longer more new version of this poem or entry:

Worthwhile Film

For those ready for a film that’s PG-13,

“Black Panther 2” is worth being heard and seen.

“Wakanda Forever” ponders deep with moments light and heavy,

echoing, insightful, and thankful through memory.

Update on 12/9/2022: Orangevale View published the longer version of this poem in its 12/9/2022 issue on page 5.

Gourd to a pulp (and savage like the Hulk): a creature can revolt

with pumpkin’s end result.

This poem is based on meme shared by Elizabeth Roper.
