Question: Poem help!?!? Good poem writers!!! (:!?
so, i need help with writing a poem, in the format of
Langston Hughes' "Harlem"

"What happens to a dream deferred!?


Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun!?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run!?
Does it stink like rotten meat!?
Or crust and sugar over—
like a syrupy sweet!?


Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load!.


Or does it explode!?"

so for all you good poem composers out there!.!.!.help!?!?
please!?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
What happens to little boys
Who get smacked around by their mothers!?
Do they grow up to hate women
And treat them like the OTHER!?

Treat them like an object, like a thing without feelings
Heaping scorn and contempt and showing no pity!?
Mama is this what you did when you
Thought no one was looking!?
How many of us have to pay the price now
And get it back,
Even though we did nothing!.

Mama be good to your little boys!.
Don't be mean and violent
It's normal for boys to be rambunctious
It's normal for them to make noise!.

They're little now,
But someday they'll have the power
To send some sweet young thing
Who doesn't deserve it,
Off to the women's shelter!.

Mama be good to your boys
They didn't ask to be born
And God didn't put them on this earth
Just to bear your scorn!.
