A picture of part of a larger of a book. White background black text NIKKI GIOVANNI Winter Poem once a snowflake fell on my brow and i loved it so much and i kissed it and it was happy and called its cousins and brothers and a web of snow engulfed me then i reached to love them all and i squeezed them and they became a spring rain and i stood perfectly still and was a flower
Consider yourself to have been blessed to be alive in any kind of overlap with Nikki Giovanni, May Allah be pleased with her.
She has left her voice with us. This is one of my favorites.

I occupy in alien woods an old retreat; in my familiar square of trees shrewd centre of such intimate quincunx am I whistle of a woken plover is unsettling plangency. Secure amid a lasting drift of leaves I graze on mast and sorrel. Hazards are these: shy doves agog in upper branches, cormorant's disturbance. Where heron calls cold waters move, my soft co-occupant of woods.
