The Poets Pluck-Langston Hughes

STILL HERE,
when I think back on that day,
DAYBREAK IN ALABAMA,
when we unpacked in the fray,

MOTHER TO SON,
thought our future bright,
DREAM VARIATIONS,
positively high as a kite,

MERRY-GO-ROUND,
I fell into a work routine,
DEMOCRACY,
you both hate Alabama scene,

THE WEARY BLUES,
after all the drama,
FREEDOMS PLOW,
I still love sleep and my pajamas.
