Poem Artwork


HARLEM IS....
a slice of red velvet cake from Make My Cake
HARLEM IS....
a block long line of tourist on a Sunday morning
HARLEM IS....
a double dutch diva turning and chanting, turning and chanting
HARLEM IS....
deep fried food smells hitting your nose as you emerge from 145th and St. Nicholas.
HARLEM IS....
Uptown USA
HARLEM IS....
a Mecca for the culturally deprived
HARLEM IS....
Margie's livingroom on a Sunday afternoon
HARLEM IS....
a bus load of Japanese tourist in front of Sylvia's
HARLEM IS....
a sidewalk cook out every day of the week
HARLEM IS....
African Hair Braiding on 125th Street
HARLEM IS....
the sounds of salsa, reggae and hip hop beats competing with a jazzy preacher's sermon
HARLEM IS....
various shades of browns blended together
HARLEM IS....
the place I rest my head at night.

'Harlem is..' fantastic writing! Enjoyed it very much. You might find my short story 'Harlem, 1949' of interest.

Looking forward to reading more of you my sister.

I was hoping for something as well-written and descriptive as this, and there it was. You paint pictures with your words, like the greats.
