    I always did like Langston Hughes, and discovered his poetry while I was in high school. Now, you have to know that I graduated in 1969, and in my time in Catholic middle and high school John F. Kennedy was assassinated, as was Robert Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. While my hometown was pretty lily-white, we there at Aquinas High School were all about integration, civil rights, social justice issues and other liberal subjects. Langston Hughes really struck a chord.

    Great picture. Really. Sometimes a picture is all I need. Which is what attracts me to certain writers. Happy New Year and here’s to more writing, more blogging, more connecting!

    I like this poem. It is short and to the point. If you haven’t any dreams, you may as well be dead.
