HARLEM: A DREAM DEFERRED 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? T P C A S T

IMAGERY POEM – USE DETAILED IMAGERY AND PARTS OF SPEECH, STICK TO THE SAME TONE THROUGHOUT POEM DICTION AND IMAGERY SHOULD HAVE STRONG CONNOTATION COLOR IS EMOTION TASTES LIKE SOUNDS LIKE SMELLS LIKE LOOKS LIKE FEELS LIKE COLOR IS METAPHOR
