Dreams By: Langston Hughes

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.


 * This poem is saying that you should enjoy your dreams and ideas in life. If you stop dreaming and creating new ideas, you will stop living life and your life will be messed up and boring. You will not be able to succeed because you will have nothing to accomplish and no goals to try and reach. If you have a dream, keep working to accomplish it and never give up. If new ideas are not being thought up of, your life will not get any better and you won't be able to live life to the fullest.

****Excerpts: **** A) **When Langston Hughes talks about the barren field, he is referring to something not producing. When he refers to a barren field, he is referring to things not being able to grow and become beautiful things.
 * B)** Langston Hughes refers to dreams multiple time during this poem. He is implying to life. When you stop dreaming, life becomes boring and messed up. There is no point in going through life if you don't dream for bigger and better things. You should never stop dreaming throughout life.

Dreams by Langston Hughes is a inspiring poem. I like how this poem says that everybody should have dreams and set goals because that is so true. In my life, I am always setting new goals and dreaming, even if it is when I am sleeping. In my life, I would like to attend college and attain a good job. I want to have a good wife and have kids and watch them grow up. **
