I GOT THE BLUES! *sings*
Blues is the name given to both a musical form and a music genre created within the African-American communities in the Deep South of the United States at the end of the 19th century from spirituals, work songs, field hollers, shouts and chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballads. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blues

Poetry has always been a way to express all types of feelings(bliss, sorrow, anger, humor and hope). African American Poetry was influenced by the struggles African Americans endured during the era of segregation and racism. The Blues by Langston Hughes When the shoe strings break
On both your shoes And you're in a hurry- That's the blues. When you go to buy a candy bar And you've lost the dime you had- Slipped through a hole in your pocket somewhere- That's the blues, too, and bad! Check out this poem!
