Question 30 • RMA FL-1001400-English 4 Semester 2
“Harlem” is a compact poem that builds urgency through a series of questions about a deferred dream and ends with the possibility of an explosion. “The Weary Blues” is much longer and uses musical rhythms, repetition, and blues-like language, giving it a lyrical quality. So the best comparison is that “Harlem” is short and urgent, while “The Weary Blues” is longer and lyrical.
