This is one of the most quoted and talked about poems i have ever heard about during my school years. This poem speaks of a dream that is deferred or delayed. The poet wonders what then becomes of the dream that once was well and strong. He gives you a couple of gruesome images of when something is rotten and soon no longer exist. He is in a way also trying to answer the question at the same time by phrasing the answers in a questionable form. He uses words such as "dry up", "fester", or "explode" to show a negative and ending of a dream deferring.
