Description: We can know that the speaker was trying to commit suicide. Why would the speaker commit suicide? Maybe because the speaker thought that 'life' is too much hard to handle, the speaker tries to give-up. And there are a lot of people who commits suicide.
Synopsis:The first four stanzas are saying that the speaker is committing suicide. In the part "I came up once and hollered! I came up twice and cried!", he was trying to drown himself in the water but he couldn't so he goes to a building and tries again. But at the last stanza we can know that the speaker is still alive and says that life is fine. I heard from someone that when you are sick and tired of the world and you a preparing to commit suicide, you finally learn what life really is.

Description: The poem "The Road Not Taken" is about the way, or a choice in life.The two ways symbolizes any major choice a person may make in their lives. It also leaves it up to the
reader as to whether or not taking the road less traveled is the better choice,
since "and that has made all the difference" doesn't suggest whether it was
positive or negative difference.
Synopsis: The author is in a wood and in a place where he has to choose a road to go. He chose the one which is less-traveled road. And that someday he will go to the other road too. But I think that he won't be able to go the the other road because I think that life is to short to reach the end of one road and then start a whole new road.

Dickinson
Description: Emily Dickinson wrote this poem to his brother and we can realize that she expressed her message writing about nature. She tries to lead the reader in a positive and hopeful way (She indirectly makes a statement that there is a light, and warmth). So the title "There Is Another Sky" means that there are colorful, hopeful, and positive sky in the world so don't be depressed, if you keep living, someday you will see the other sky. Also the other sky can also be a person's personality that there is another side of them even though if it's a bad side.
Synopsis: I imagined that I was following Emily Dickinson in a forest. At first you don't like the bugs and the scratches that the branches make, but as you get more deep into the forest you look around and see what is around you not what is next to you, then you will see the other side of the sky, world,and people and think that the world has a beautiful part but it's just hard to find it.

Description: Langston Hughes questions us what will happen if dreams defers. But I think that all the bad things that he listed in his poem won't actually happen. Dreams are not over, it is just deferred. Some people who are dying that they can't earn their dreams and the people who are around them are not supporting, it doesn't mean that your dream will explode or smell like rotten meat. So I think Langston Hughes gave us the way to do what we have to do for our dreams and to mot give up our dreams just because it is deferred. Dreams won't be dried or sore.
Synopsis: There are no particular synopsis in this poem, I think the order of this poem is the impact of what bad, might happen if your dreams are deferred.

Dickinson
Description: It is saying about how short our life is. And this poem makes us think that we should do something special and not waisting the life "that only lasts an hour", life does not actually last one hour, but it goes really fast that you don't realize how much far you came till the end, so I think this is why she wrote that life lasts an hour. To add on, the part "how much--how little -- is within our power" might be about our
Analysis: This poem makes me kind of afraid and worry about what I have to do while I'm living a life, and how to spend my time that I won't regret. All people are afraid of dying and I'm afraid that at the moment that I'm dying I don't want to think: "What did I do until now? Did I live a 'good' life?" Also, I think that Emily Dickinson wrote this poem when she was worried what to do with life "that only last an hour"

Description: In the first stanza of this poem-- Dream Variation--wrote about what Langston Hughes or people like now a days who are busy and people who are tired of societys' dream. Not a dream that you dream while you are in a sleep. A dream that you really wish for. This is a digression but my dream is to go back to 2010, because I belive that that was the most happiest time in my memory. Anyway, Langston HUghes continues about that day that he dreams of but at the last line it is written:Night coming tenderly Black like me. I think that this part means that his dream is over and it will disapear in the dark. Or: It is just a dream, that won't happen.
Analysis: The flow of this poem is a timeline of a day. Morning to Night. Moring is a symbol of bright,positive,hopeful,cheerful and Night is dark, spooky and hopeless (maybe this is why we dream at might, to get rid the hopeless). In the middle of the evening time he said:While night comes on gently,Dark like me-That is my dream! I think that he wrote himself as dark twice, in the poem and I think it is because most of the people has a depression somewhere deep in their heart.

Description: This poem makes you draw an image in your mind and feel the poem. In my opinion I don't think that you interpret a poem, you feel the poem and think what it means. So Itried to think about the poem and I realized that most od the poems about dream that I chose ends hopless. The poetries are human too, I guess they want to dream to, but we are living in the world that disturbs you from earning things.And maybe dreams are just dreams, it doesn;t come to reality.
Analysis: It starts with a dreamlike mood. And the speaker seems to dream a place where it's far away from the society and have some margin.But at the end the poem "A Dreams of Trees" ends with the sentence:Who ever made music of a mild day? I tried to figure it out, what it means and I'm not sure but I think it is like this: Why did someone ever make a music of a mild day which really makes me feel that I'm having a mild day. And I think the reader is rejecting the reality by accusing the person who made the mild day music.

Cummings
Description: This
poem is not for people who are beautiful as roses it is for people who are
weed. It tells us that a weed can be beautiful than a rose and the rose will
just smile. This poem is about life and it depends on how the rose smiled but at the end it all means that you can do it and one day the people will smile at you (because you made it), which in the poem it is written that the rose will smile at you.
Analysis: The meaning
of the last stanza would mean that there are those that will settle for less
than the best they can do and convince themselves that a weed is a beautiful as
a rose, and the rose will smile at them.
