I am not really a person who loves poems mostly because I don’t understand them. Recently I saw a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in a magazine and was really impressed. Even though the poem seems simple in its meaning, it seemed like there was a subliminal meaning hidden inside it. The way the poet exclaims in the end saying, “Ah, What then?” made me think a lot. Here is the poem:
What if you slept
And what if
In your sleep
You dreamed
And what if
In your dream
You went to heaven
And there plucked a strange and beautiful flower
And what if
When you awoke
You had that flower in you hand
Ah, what then?
– Samuel Taylor Coleridge
