About This Poem

delta blues

The blues should never be cast aside
pick up a song and forget your pride

Let those feelings flow right through
time and love will then know you

sing those words that hold you near
now let them go without any fear

where there is pain there’s often a song
let the delta blues play all night long





Chasing the blues way competition.
