I always like singing
Best
you can sing a song
From any album
And lullabies
And operas
And duets
And lots of
Notes
And solos
And hymns
At the church
And listen to new bands
Outside
With friends
And go to concerts
And go on stage
And be loud
All the time
Not only when you sing
And in speech

Based on the poem “Knoxville, Tennessee” by Nikki Giovanni

The author's comments:
In my English class, we had to do a poem based on "Knoxville, Tennessee" by Nikki Giovanni. I have always loved music and singing, but I'm definitely not the best singer so I tend to focus more on songs and lyrics.
