Langston Hughes (1 February 1902 – 22 May 1967 / Missouri)

Poem for Langston Hughes

Thunder is seldom so soft as when his sounds are spoken.
That bird climbs on to life- to life! Its wings have never broken.

Those wings will take it to a place where crystal stairs have passed.
That barren field of frozen snow will flourish with dreams at last.

Hold fast!
Hold fast.!

Langston was a true poet. His poetry was a denial of everything he'd been told about himself and his people, and the truest expression of spirit that I've ever read.

i love the poem...about civil war

I love the line from the LTAB poem, My ego is Langston 'Huge'

Langston Hughs in my opinion was the OG of poetry. I am influenced by his genius at sharingpoetry.com.

He wrote this poem in 1926.
