The poem “Harlem” by Langston Hughes reminds me of mothers all around the world. Mothers who may have had to postpone their dreams for such a long time raising children. Mothers that might’ve been staying at home all day taking care of kids. Mothers all around the world have dropped their dreams for the sake of something greater or maybe raising a family was their dream all along.

The poem "Harlem" by Langston Hughes reminds me of myself when I was younger and I had larger dreams of what I wanted to do when I grew up and wanted to pursue into something I used be really passionate as a kid. However I realized as I grew up how much effort I would need to do to pursue in that career and over time i began to loose interest in that topic and would much rather do it as a hobby than do it as a career.

The poem is stupid and I did not enjoy it. Why does the author rhyme some words but then go ahead and write whatever?

The author is a pseudo poet who writes nonsense with question marks at the end to make everything seem "wise" and "witty"

The poem "Harlem" by Langston Hughes, makes me think of my parents, and if they had any big dreams before they had kids. I know my dad wanted to be a doctor when he was younger and I always wondered why he never became one, was it because of my brother and me, or something else? When it says "does it dry up Like a raisin in the sun?" makes me think about if my parents still wished they could have done something else with their life before kids, or if they forgot about their dreams.

The poem "Harlem" by Langston Hughes reminds me of my mom. Her dream is to travel but she is tied down by responsibility. Her children, her bills, her job. All of it ties her down and her dreams of traveling the world had to be put to the side. She still has passion for those things but it feels like her passion has rusted, she seems to have settled into having a normal life without going to a new country every month.
