''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!
Word up! Am I sensing a bluesy poem about weak waves?
