Poem......Harlem

Let me be honest, I love this poem just because it is so short. If the poem I read is too long, I lose the main point and focus only on the rhythm. In this poem, off course I knew the poem was about a dream regardless of the length of the poem however, its length helped me understand that the poem is about dream that doesn't come true and how we take it. This poem is more of a question to us about how that dream could be interpreted and what is going to happen to it.

  1. I agree. I find myself paying more attention to shorter poems rather than longer poems and Harlem was straightforward and to the point. It was a lot easier to understand and there were no "hidden messages".
