    In “Dreams” by Langston Hughes, the poet uses a very short poem to convey the deep-embedded message that, without “dreams,” life can never reach its full potential. I set out to write that poem in a similar style, conveying what is, I hope, a powerful message and using the abstract idea of love in the way Hughes uses the idea of dreams. I was moved by the vivid metaphors in Hughes’s work, which stresses the consequences of a life without “dreams.” I used a quatrain similar to his—for example,…

    “Those Winter Sundays” is technically a sonnet as it has 14 lines, however, it does not rhyme and is not in iambic pentameter. Nevertheless, sonnets are frequently identified as an expression of love and although “Those Winter Sundays” describes a love a father shows his children, it shares this commonality.

    This poem is really interesting and caught my eye. When I read it, I didn’t know what to think of it at first. Then I went ahead and read it again and tried to see all the symbolism and imagery.
