I've never been good at poetry either so i just guessed at the topic and tried to assume the best of it.Khrystal Whitfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07449184795831206543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371646336059083191.post-85237619085041522092011-10-23T07:59:17.366-07:002011-10-23T07:59:17.366-07:00I loved Harlem!

In Harlem you grow up and there are so many difficulties, you have so many dreams but you have to put them aside so that you can provide for your family and yourself. <br /><br />The Harlem Renaissance was happening then, the arts came to a forefront there because African Americans were finally able to freely express themselves. Well more free than when they were slaves. I still feel like because they were African American and looked down on and still seen as less of a person than white Americans their art could only go so far. So they had these dreams but again had to let them go because they weren't able to do anything with it besides share it with others in Harlem.<br /><br />I might be completely off, but that's what I got. You know I'm awful with poetry so your guess is as good as mine. :0)Mary Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895945679473422359noreply@blogger.com
