Matthew Anish Poet Concrete

White People Also Get the Blues

B.B. King continues to 
   sing the blues 
sings "They say things will get better but I don't believe that's true"
Black people are not the only 
  people who get the blues 
   I have had them, believe me 
You can sing the blues in poetry if you want to 
   B.B. King - still singing and playing "Lucille"
       I can relate!

M. L. Kiser October 23, 2014 at 5:42 PM I love BB King. Love this piece of poetry, too. We do get the blues and I write poetry when I get them, too.
