The poem The Man that Used to Sing written byAlice Walker has no particular form. This poem has no rhyme sceme it is pretty much a free verse poem. This poem talks bout how there was an old man who no longer can sing because he has died. He says how the people feel akward and people's eyes were dry a the funeral I asume. The widow feels akward with flowers in her hand. The people around him holding his casket put the body in the ground and everyone is standing around wearing brown suits.
