The Poet Is A Blues Singer Poem by Dorsey Baker

The poet is a blues singer
don't you hear him
singing the blues
The poet is a blues singer
can't you hear him
moaning the blues
its a world of distress
and despair
its a world of lightning flashing
its a world of thunder roaring
the debtor must pay his dues
The poet
is a blues singer
with a rhyme or a word
here or there
writing to the beat of the rain
falling down
or the wind making its echo sound
the poet
is a blues singer
and all blues singers
sing the blues!
