    This poem explores what might happen to a dream that is put off or denied through a series of rhetorical questions. It suggests dreams could wither away slowly over time, become infected and spread, decay and smell foul, harden into an unpleasant shell, or potentially explode from the pressure of being constrained for too long without being acted upon.

    Dream Deferred

    by Langston Hughes

    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?
