As I was browsing through my daily dose of poetry, I came across a touching poem that most everybody can relate to - Mother to Son. The poem progresses through the viewpoint of a mother, warning her son of the troubles he may encounter in the future, leaving hints of love here and there. This poem was an instant success, in part due to its relatability, but also due to Langston Hughe’s poetry magic. Today, I’ll going over this dramatic monologue, and breaking every hidden detail down piece by piece.
