Poetry Corner #20

I can't believe this is my 20th Poetry Corner, I feel as though I just began doing this weekly.

Demand
     By: Langston Hughes

Listen!
Dear dream of utter aliveness-
Touching my body of utter death-
Tell me, O quickly! dream of aliveness,
The flaming source of your bright breath.
Tell me, O dream of utter aliveness-
Knowing so well the wind and the sun-
Where is this light
Your eyes see forever?
And what is the wind
You touch when you run? 


DFTBA

      I will definitely keep going with this. I always enjoy finding new poets that I love, like when I discover a new favourite author :)

      I'm liking The Great Gatsby so far but I don't think I like any of the characters, there just such bad people and they have no morals. Though it is a really interesting book to read.
