poetry out loud

The poem I chose for poetry out loud is Harlem by Langston Hughes. i chose this poem because it was short and easy to memorize. it also talks about wandering what happens to dreams that are forgotten.

I am preparing for the competition by memorizing my poem and saying it with meaning. it is a short poem so it is rather easy to memorize but it is hard to add meaning to it.

robert frost poem

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost is about a man in the crossroads of his life and deciding what to do. he is using the woods to stall before he goes home because he knows he will have to choose when he gets there.

the theme is somewhat dark and dreary because of the story of the man is dark and dreary. i chose this poem because we just read it in class.
