Dreams by Langston Huges

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.



"Dreams" by Langston Huges is about accomplishing your dreams before it is too late. Huges is saying that life is boring and empty without dreams. The word "dreams" is repeated throughout the poem providing an example of repetition. Two metaphors in this poem are "Life is a broken-winged bird." and "Life is a barren field." I like this poem a lot because it is inspiration for me to accomplish my dreams.
