Lady sends me singing fine and mellow,
and Mister Five by Five tells me the news.
Cool lemon pie or steamy hot bellow,
it ain't no jive alive, my friend, it's blues.
Heard it told the blues is just a bad dream
that creeps into your bones when times is bad.
Baby, sadness ain't about a blues theme--
that soul cry means to lift you outta sad!
Trouble and toil worry your sweet soul,
a weary day will well up tears like rain,
but wail your sorrow, climb outta that hole.
You'll lose them devil blues by the refrain.
Open your mouth and sing your sorry heart,
your lonesome jones will beat retreat and part.

Yes indeed, blues is about soul, not sad.

A blues sonnet?

The beat was a little hard for me to dance to. I think

in my mind shorter lines would of worked better. I gave

it 100 on content, for I believe the blues set you free.

I know each Monday needs a blues poem to help us out of

the work week funk. Thanks.
