The Weary Blues
I love how Cab Calloway was featured in the background as an image for Langston Hughes poem. Also the music was great I absolutely love the piano, the melody was slow and beautiful which went alone with the poems lyrics and flow. I love the line "He made that piano moan with melody" just means he played that piano with all his heart and made sounds come out of the piano that would move anyone. This poem is deep and meaningful describing a man with nothing but his blues and his piano.

The line about the piano uses the rhetorical figure of personification. A piano does not moan; people do. Usually, melodies are not moaning, so that diction is important.
