Dreams By Langston Hughes
"Dreams," by Langston Hughes is about that you can't live without goals, you have to have something in life to look forward to. If you don't have goals and dreams in life you really have nothing to live for. This poem uses many poetic devices, such as personification in line 2 it says "for if dreams die," dying is a human ability. Another poetic device is metaphor " for if dreams die life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly." This poem has a regular scheme it goes a,b,c,b,d,e,f,e. This poem does make sense because if you didn't have dreams you would be living in life with no purpose. This poem was great! I really enjoy reading Langston Hughes' poems.
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.
