Answer:

“Harlem” is short and curious, and “The Weary Blues” is longer and unhappy.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Harlem" and "The Weary Blues" are the works of Langston Hughes published in 1951 and 1925 respectively.

In "Harlem" Langston asks question, "What happens to a dream deferred?" and he is curious to know what had happened to the dream when it is deferred or delayed. The poem is short.

"The Weary Blues," on the other hand, is a longer in structure and the ending of the poem id unhappy as in the end the piano player kills himself.

So, the answer to this question is that Harlem is short and curious, and The Weary Blues is longer and unhappy.
