Nikki Giovanni Poem Poems

We are not lovers
because of the love
...

Ever been kidnapped
by a poet
...

so he said: you ain't got no talent
if you didn't have a face
you wouldn't be nobody
...

Clouds float by on a summer sky
I hop scotch over to you
...

once a snowflake fell
on my brow and i loved
it so much and i kissed
...

Trees are never felled . . . in summer . . . Not when the fruit . . .
is yet to be borne . . . Never before the promise . . . is fulfilled . . .
Not when their cooling shade . . . has yet to comfort . . .
...
