  Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

Langston Hughes

failures are my faithful companions..
wherever i go, whatever i do.....they accompany me.
but still am going, still am doing
'cuz still i dream, dream a lot.
still i hop, hop a lot.

Hi; 'Dreams' is a wonderful poem because it attaches very important subject.In this beautiful poem the poet is trying to convey a clear message asking every person not to give up dreaming because when there is a dream there is a hope and the hope is the only thing that is left to us in a bad time

when you read the poem u feel as if some one telling u dream because evry one needs to dream, thhis give u will, hope, and the believe that good times are comingso never gave up or stop dreaming, if u believe in some thing u will reach it
, let us dream

when i read this poem i thaught that hughes was writing for me not for anyone else coz everything he tolked about is relating to me and to my happiness, it was really golden moments to feel my self survive and flying higher and higher on the heavenskies next to angels of my lord, further of sadness's holes, , thanks hughes.

DREAMS easy to spell dificult to realise, with Hughes at least i have something to live for which make me stronger and hopeful in this hard life

Dream makes me as a dove flying in the sky, as a butterfly on flowers. If some one has no dream, he will have no meaning in his life, he lose every thing which expresses happiness because dream makes you on the top of happiness for that I really like that poem.

Hi, of course I like dreams because simply it is the way of make you happy, good and motivated to continue your life and can smile one again.

Non-stop dreams, this is what i learned from Hughes 'DREAMS'.Things happen to you without even dreaming of, in a sense, are meaningless; dreams make you taste and enjoy those achievements.
  Amina Mellal  (6/4/2009 4:24:00 AM)

I really love this poem because it talks about an important subject which is related to all the people over the world; and also the poet used very simple and clear words as well as a good and attractive style. concerning the subject 'Dream ', i am agree with the poet that without dreams life is without meaning we can never give up on dreams because dreams mean our existence.So, we should always dream dream, and dream.
