ELLA BIO POEM by 16

Ella was born in 1917, Newport News

Ella was an only child but that didn't slow her down

Ella just moved right on to Yonkers New York

& studied dance and singing at Yale 

witch helped her overcome the world's racism

Ella worked as a smooth jazz singer

but Ella was still challenged by diabetes & losing her legs

Ella's personality could be described as 
a girl who can think on her toes because when she was doing scat she made it up as she went 

Ella always persevered

and never backed out of a fight

Ella was best known for her amazing singing

Ella was a fine singer who never stopped  swinging
