Broadway Poem by James Papastamos

Ah! The power of dreams! !
New York harbor
Tickles the feet of Broadway, with
Waves of obscurity who ride her
Broad shoulders with narrow visions of
Living big on so small a budget

Neon signs radiate their seductive lure
Inviting, enticing...anticipating
The arrival of sudden impact, while
Skyscrapers shadow the lights of Broadway,
Its windows to reflect the glamour and
Glitter than only mid town can offer

42nd street rips through Manhattan
Like butter through Broadway
Bed and breakfast at the Edison,
Dinner for two at the Y
America, I cried, give us your poor,
Your humbled masses, learning to

Broaden their perspective, as only
Broadway might dare as much
