Springtime Lyrics by Nikki Giovanni

The Reason I Like Chocolate (And Other Children Poems)

1976

in springtime
the violets grow in the sidewalk cracks
and the ants play furiously at my gym-toed shoes
carrying off a half-eaten peanut butter sandwich I had at lunch
sometimes I crumble my extra graham crackers
on the rainy days i take off my yellow space hat
and splash all the puddles on Pendry Street
and not one cold can catch me
