This poem made me feel emotional because the way Langston Hughes wrote the poem and HOW he wrote it and with the techniques he used to write it, it made me feel like I could relate to it. I like how he described the mother son relationship even though he is not a mother, and I also like how he makes the mother describe her life to her son and interpret what a mother might say to their young son.
