Notes About The Poem
A tribute to one of the most unique Parks I've ever visited. https://littleisland.org/
Listen to poem:

Little Island NYC



Two emeralds; copper eyes, fixated on the Atlantic
The Hudson; jades woke by fairies to her feet, so frantic
My view; is vantage, a little island on pillars, so historic
Gotham the east connection; of an oasis oh so prolaphoric
The horse shoe; welcomes performances theatric
Paths of endless connections; made by cobblestone brick
A Metropolis candle; burning at both ends of the wick
Melting pots of humanity; formed, a narrow wax stick

The candle burning at both ends sounds like a good ideal when you think about it.

Sometimes you just need a perspective outside the norm to recognize what is normal ;) A.S.
