Analysis of H.A.R.L.E.M
Hidden treasure to both mother, father
An unknown presence to a New Yorken auntie.
Rare traits among us all
Listen when your big brother Kelton says he will catch sissy should or if she starts to fall.
Easy on the eyes
Mission isn't impossible to be a hustling daughter.

About this poem
I am initially writing this poem on the fly because initially the letters spell my youngest niece's name. For the beginning this started on a piece of paper, a reason unknown it feels more would become of it doing so on sight. The idea came as my younger brother told me should make a pillow for his daughter.
