READ & REFLECT
In 1932 a US poet LANGSTON HUGHES wrote this poem about dreams.
Bring me all of your dreams,
Langston Hughes
You dreamer,
Bring me all of your
Heart melodies
That I may wrap them
In a blue cloud-cloth
Away from the too-rough fingers
Of the world.
- What’s he asking us to bring him?
- Why?
discussion:
- What do you think this poem says about dreams and visions for the future?
Do you agree?
GO

- WRITE one or more fore EACH on the <-LEFT side of your paper.
