Langston Hughes

Langston Hughes is one of my most beloved poets. 

I am so glad I found this website here with videos:

... where some of his poems are very well read and combined with lovely photographs and paintings. I do like that VERY much.

Here is one of those poems:

OLD WALT 

.

Old Walt Whitman

Went finding and seeking,

Finding less than sought

Seeking more than found,

Every detail minding

Of the seeking or the finding.

Pleasured equally

In seeking as in finding,

Each detail minding,

Old Walt went seeking

And finding.

I also warmly recommend this website:

In this anthology I especially like the poem "A Civil War Veteran" by Norbert Krapf, which is also about Walt Whitman:

I'm so glad these things exist!
