My 2nd Favorite Poem

"kidnap poem"
by Nikki Giovanni


ever been kidnapped
by a poet

if i were a poet
i'd kidnap you
put you in my phrases and meter
you to jones beach

or maybe coney island
or maybe just to my house
lyric you in lilacs
dash you in the rain

blend into the beach
to complement my see
play the lyre for you
ode you with my love song
anything to win you

wrap you in the red Black green
show you off to mama
yeah if i were a poet
i'd kidnap you
