The Easter Parade in New York
This Cancer Surgeon is Sharp as his Scalpel!
But he had Competition
From Poet Don Raphel
And Don Jaun
****************
The Ladies Made their Fashion Statements
With their Lovely Easter Bonnets
They Come in all Sizes and Colors
Sisters!
A Different Angle
There Was Drama
Panache!
A Different Angle
Spectacle!
Spectacular
High Fashion
Chic!
Sassy!
Sometimes the Whole Family Wore Bonnets
A Family Affair
There Were All kinds of Bonnets
Fashion Eclectics
And Fashion Outlaws
Free Thinkers
Fashion Subversives
And Fantasy!
Fashion Iconoclast
And Afrocentrists!
And the Bodacious Bonnets of Harlem Church Women
Yet for High Style and Male Elegence
Old School Ruled!
The Easter Parade Was Bootylicious Too!
Eye Candy Was Everywhere
Everywhere you Looked one could see
The Object of the Commodores’ song: “Brick Hooouse!”
They looked like Kinetic Ebony Sculptures
As they Promenaded About in Varied Costumes
DASHING DUETS!
Jubilation
Grandeur
Stand outs in the crowd
Free Spirits!
Only in New York
The Cavaleir and his Lady
In their own world
Shongo and the Dragon Lady
Representin on the Fifth
The Long and the Short of it
