"I don't think I'm allowed to kill something because I am frightened."
—Nikki Giovanni 💔

#poem #poems #poetry
I killed a spider Not a murderous brown recluse Nor even a black widow And if the truth were told this Was only a small spider Sort of papery spider Who should have run When I picked up the book But she didn't And she scared me And I smashed her I don't think I'm allowed To kill something Because I am Frightened.
