Jarrit Locke

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.

The poem is sad and emotional. The poem gives a deep thoughtful meaning. LYRIC POEM

The poem literally says that you need to hold onto your dreams because if your dreams die then your life cannot take off. LITERAL MEANING

The deeper meaning of this poem is that if you don’t follow your dreams and pursue what you are passionate about in life then you’ll be left with nothing and life will be as barren as a field frozen with snow. METAPHORICAL MEANING

Pursue your dreams, because if you don’t then you will never truly be happy. THEME

Rhyme scheme of A, B, C, B Metaphors such as Life is a broken-winged bird LITERARY DEVICES

I picked this poem because it has a deep meaning that gives you the feeling that you need to pursue your goals in life. If you don’t then when your old and looking back on life then what will you be able to say you’ve done and be proud of. This poem inspires me to live life to the fullest, regret nothing, and follow your dreams. DREAMS
