10 Most-Enjoyed Poems and Poets

What made my day extra special? These poems did. Don’t miss a single line! 1. Dreams by Langston Hughes. Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, Life is broken-winged bird, that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field, frozen with snow. 2.

The Talking Windowglass

I caught myself staring blankly out the window, “What a dour,” the glass hissingly sneered, Unawed, unthinking, I shrugged off its crack, Alas! Once more it hummed:”why’re your eyes sad?”   “Quit worrying,” murmured I, while shivering in the cold. “It’s no use”,I urged it to let me sulk. Lament nor yield to gloom: none
