Dream Deferred

Back in the old days, during high school, in my English class, I heard this one poem. You might have heard of it. It is called Dream Deferred by Langston Hughes. Here is the poem.

Dream Deferred
- 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?

The poem provided such great visuals in my mind, so, I decided to make a photo story out of this poem.

Photostory is a free Microsoft application that allows users to have a "show and tell" presentation with digital photos added with narration, effects, transitions and background music. You can download the application at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/PhotoStory/default.mspx

Check it out.

It was quite fun making this photo story. I felt like a creative director!
