MLK Day Poetry Challenge
Honor MLK By Describing How You Dream A World
From NPR:
As we celebrate the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. on Monday, Morning Edition asks for you to write a poem that starts with the words "I dream a world.”
Write a poem that, like Hughes did, begins with the line: "I dream a world" and describe the change you hope for.
Your poem can rhyme like Hughes' poem, but it doesn't have to. It just has to dream us out of tribulation.
Share your poem through the form below, then Alexander will take lines from some of your pieces and create a community crowdsourced poem. Alexander and Martin will read it on air, and NPR will publish it online, where contributors will be credited.
