When you see this, post a poem in your journal
So, because I love poetry and I couldn't pick just one, you get 2 classics from me. Go forth and multiply.
"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?
"Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

And oooh e.e. cummings, very nice :D

I'm a science geek with a serious literary and theater problem. Yeah, IDK either. I'm a random person.
