  Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.


Langston Hughes

Is that really a poem?
Seems like a quote of six lines...
Does NOT deserve #4

I love this poem and I love Langston Hughes. The brevity of the poem, its conciseness deliver the message powerfully. Had it been longer it might have not had the same impact.

A dream is vital to have in life...
We should always have one or we have nothing to work for
I truly love this poem

Poetry is dreams. We can write down anything we wish, anything we seek. When words die, we die, and our dreams die.
