Describe this Poem

[Spanish]

All you have to do is describe the poem below, but there's a catch. It has to be described in only one sentence. The poem is by Langston Hughes and it takes place during the Civil Right Movement.



Harlem

by Langston Hughes


What happens to a dream deferred?


Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over—
like a syrupy sweet?


Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.


Or does it explode?

He describes what possibly happens to a dream that you don't work to achieve, and basically says that it becomes detestable.

 

[LizardKing]

maybe not a dream that you don't work for, but a dream that you are not able , or that you failed to achieve

Is the dream you dream something you want to achieve, or is it even possible to achieve?

I think its the dream exhibit got you so you can

Dream while you dream while dreaming about dreaming a dream you dreamed when you dream your dream dreaming.
