"She Beat The Men With Feet" a Poem by Dalton Johnson
SHE BEAT THE MEN WITH FEET
When pen and sheet collide in love so smooth The tip so wet in ink so bold so blue.
The art must glide from mind to hand to wood.
As thought will smudge the skies of blue, I fall With you. To beach and sea we walk the line That sketch the mind more blue. For pen in hand
Can free the soul. Let man be man for man
Will hold so true his love of love so blue.
The pen, the pen, the pen, they shout, “Ol’ Blue!”
With joy and wrath and love and fear. For she So bright she dare to bring the point of lead To sheet to write the words of men in sin.
