Ella Fitzgerald

A Poem by Emily T.

When I think of Ella

I think of Blues

I think of Jazz

I think of cool

I think of her voice

Oh, so stellar

So potent, powerful, instrumental

When I think of Ella

I think of movement

Jumpy, energetic, and graceful

I think of her songs

Sweeter than nectar

And I realize

That even though long gone

She lives on

In our hearts

And in what we hear
