'Leadbelly' was a very important folk song performer in the middle of the 20th century. 'Jump down, turn around' is the first line from one of his songs. br br Jump down, turn around br when you write a poem br Jump down, turn around br in a different way – br Make it sing, and make it dance, br life is short, but here’s your chance br to make things sparkle and lighten up br and put a little romance in your cup. br Poetry can do it, like nothing else, br but you must do it br in a different way br If you want to be successful br and have the reader pay br attention to your words no matter br what they say. br I don’t know if I do it, br but I have a lot of fun, br When I try to make my words br look clever when I’m done.
