Langston Hughes does a brilliant job in his poem “Genius Child”. He includes himself in a unique perspective which is one of the most important things in poetry. Also this poem is teaming with metaphors. But what really knocks the ball out of the park is how the shape affects the rhythm which gives this poem a sort of dark feel.

In “ Self-Reliance” by Ralph Waldo Emerson, he speaks of genius. “ To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart, is true for all men-that is genius”(pg.234).
