''The weary bluse'' by Langston hughes is a lyrical poem about living in the blues. This poem was conveying that blacks were living behind bars and not living free, and that is what I think that Langston Hughes was trying to make you think.
"The weary blues'' had a lot of rhyming in it for example '' with his ebony hands on each ivory keyhe made the poor piano moan with melody'' and this rhyme shows that the poem is based off of the basic blues rhythm . Another big element was the sadness in the poem such as '' I got the weary blues and I cant be satisfied''. This shows that this poem made to be thought of further than whats written on the paper.
I like this poem because it is not as simple as everybody is happy and everything is fine. It was deep and it made you think. sometimes i feel like singing the blues when the weather is bad or the waves are not good!

vs. poem
White sweet yummy mayonaise smothered on a hamburger bun Vs. sour yellow ninja mustard covering a hotdog
Crispy brown fatty bacon crunching in my mouth Vs. yellow soft eggs lathered in ketchup
happy nice red friend of mine named elmo whos doing parkour on my face Vs. sad mean oscar living in a garbage can.
flowing biggy smalls with endless raps Vs. smaller tupac who is also a good rapper
tan shaved but sometimes hairy six packy spikey haired jacob Vs. white scary emo blood sucking edward
connor's gear
Softest towel to get me dry
thick warm wetsuit
without it I would die
strap the leash to my leg
we are going to the beach
!hooray!
good smelling wax to make me stay
what board should i bring today
need those fins to make me glide
but most important
i cant forget
i need to bring my
confidence
