Little Lyric (Of Great Importance)
I wish the rent
Was heaven sent.
***
Langston Hughes is one of the great poets of the 20th century. He's got some incredible lyricism to his verses - no surprise, as there's a strong vein of the blues running through his writing. While I generally prefer "Harlem" ("What happens to a dream deferred?"), I find his little verse (of great importance) tends to speak more to my current situation than just about any other poem I've read.
