    After networking with editors and publishers, he feels that its good to submit more of his work for publication. Speaking of submissions, his latest poem about Michael Jackson (see below) appears in an anthology (Magic of Michael Jackson) honoring the King of Pop: 


    Our Little Michael/Your Michael Jackson

    Our little Michael
    Begin his life in our homes
    He danced in our living rooms
    Like James Brown

    He was raised in every small
    Town in black America

    He and his brothers were the
    First black family band
    Like the White Osmond’s
    To make it big
    In the record business with

    Arithmetic and alphabet
    Songs

    Like
    Sugar and pop
    Syrupy breakfast cereal
    The girls fell in love with him

    Our little Michael
    Was the heart of
    Every little black girls
    Dream comes true

    And Even if
    The boys would get
    Jealous

    But
    He was our little Michael
    Like a little brother

    We watched as he grew up
    On TV
    And left our families
    As all children must do
    Little Michael
    Moved from every little black town
    To LA LA Land and embarked on a
    Solo career

    He worked with men like
    Mr Jones who took little Michael
    Into a new direction and he became
    Your Michael Jackson

    A black world wide phenom
    Everybody loved Michael Jackson

    Over time
    His behavior was
    Not understand by his family

    As his popularity grew
    More and more demands were made on him

    As his popularity grew
    More and more he distanced himself from his family

    As his popularity grew
    More and more he was like a homeless man
    But with riches and fame

    He became more and more like you

    Only God knows
    If his soul was tortured or if
    He was a troubled man

    But let us pray that our
    Little Michael has made peace
    With himself and it is well with his/our soul
