Write a poem in the style of Langston Hughes.
Child why you cryin’
You’re mama’ll be comin’
You silly thing
Let go them apron strings
She goin’ to get an education
To learn a new vocation
Them long hours
Ain’t no bed of flowers
So I advise
You wipe them eyes
Look out that door’
You won’t miss her no mor’

Such a talent you have for "real" voice--your rhyming is natural. That's no mean feat, girl.
THANK YOU!
