In the poem, “Dreams of the Dreamer,” Johnson’s use of diction and syntax impacts the mood, tone, and voice of the poem. Johnson uses short lines in both stanzas to create a quick yet simple explanation, using the image of a heart breaking and a heart no longer beating, of what happens when people stop pursuing their dreams. Johnson uses strong verbs such as “ceases” to establish feelings of sadness and melancholy as the tone and mood of the poem. The use of short lines, the repeated image of the heart, and strong verbs lets the reader understand the abruptness of happiness or life when dreams are no longer pursued. Johnson offers the reader insight into the sadness she feels when dreams end.
