Langston Hughes (February 1, 1902 – May 22, 1967 / Missouri)

This poem is so short but in its length describes life in its fullness.

That's exactly how I interpret my way if thinking.

He wrote this in 1926.

When did he write this poem?

I dont mean to offend anybody, but I don't like this poem at all. Yes, the meaning behind it is slightly inspiring. The words themselves, however, are too simple and childish. The rhyming sounds forced and I'm certain my 11 year old sister could have thought up this poem. not to say I don't like Langston Hughes; some of his poems are good. But this is not one of them.
