Write an original 12-bar Classic Blues Lyric using the following instructions:
Create an appropriate title for your blues.
Indicate whether your lyrics are fictional or non-fictional.
Compose a minimum of five stanzas with each stanza consisting of
three lines in a, a, b form. Skip an additional space between stanzas.
The “a” lines and the “b” line should end with words that are in exact
rhyme with each other.
Practice reading your lyrics aloud for sound, substance, and rhythmical
continuity.
Include appropriate punctuation – i.e., periods, commas, and the like.
You may also use dialect, if characteristic of your subject.
All papers should be typewritten with your name and the course included. Create a story, or scenario in your lyrics with the “a” lines setting up the situation,
and the “b” lines bringing closure to the stanza.
Be imaginative and creative with your lyrics, speaking them aloud, and/or singing
them in order to discern their aural, rhythmic, and musical sense.
