Nikki Giovanni Life Poems
- 1. Poetry
poetry is motion graceful
as a fawn
gentle as a teardrop
strong like the eye
... - 2. Cotton Candy On A Rainy Day
Don't look now
I'm fading away
Into the gray of my mornings
Or the blues of every night
... - 3. Possum Crossing
Backing out the driveway
the car lights cast an eerie glow
in the morning fog centering
on movement in the rain slick street
... - 4. The Great Pax Whitie
In the beginning was the word
And the word was
Death
And the word was nigger
... - 5. Walking Down Park
walking down park
amsterdam
or columbus do you ever stop
to think what it looked like
... - 6. Resignation
I love you
because the Earth turns round the sun
because the North wind blows north
sometimes
... - 7. Life Cycles
she realized
she wasn't one
of life's winners
when she wasn't sure
... - 8. Balances
In life
one is always
balancing
...
