"Harlem" - Langston Hughes
(Look up the words in green if you do not know the definition)
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a soreâ
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar overâ
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
After reading "Harlem" what connections can you make to yourself and this poem? (Respond with 3-5 complete sentences)?

(from "in memoriam" by alfred lord tennyson) natureâs first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold. her early leafâs a flower but only so an hour. then leaf subsides to leaf. so eden sank to grief,; so dawn goes down to day. nothing gold can stay. (from "nothing gold can stay" by robert frost) at sestos hero dwelt; hero the fair, whom young apollo courted for her hair, and offered as a dower his burning throne, where she should sit for men to gaze upon. the outside of her garments were of lawn, the lining purple silk, with gilt stars drawn; (from "hero and leander" by christopher marlowe) quatrain couplet octave sestet
