This was the first poem i ever memorized. He has such a way with words that make you think of deeper meanings to the words. |

This poem is great because it is timeless. Langston Hughes probably wrote it about something specific he was feeling, but it can be applied to so many different things other than that. |

I love how all the metaphors relate to something in nature that happens naturally. Natural tension, hm... |

The repitition makes me feel rushed...in a good way. It gives me a sense of like building up.

The reference to food and then the stench of dreams 'deferred' and festering sores are very evocative imageries. |

The similes are incredibly illustrative of the feelings a person has when his or her dreams go unfilled-for whatever reason-in life. |

What a hauntingly beautifully scripted poem! The imagery in this personified poem is indeed, not unlike the ending - explosive! |
