I believe that this poem works because it gives the reader a descriptive visual to imagine. The reader has an idea of what this person looks like, or can make their own perception of how their own harlem would look. From this particular piece, we can see that successful poetry is very descriptive. We also see that it connects to other aspects of our life. For example, the concept of being able to dance to a record is something most people can relate to.
