Lisa

I love the way she writes, 

and walks, 

with all the confidence and strength

that comes her way so naturally.

Not for her the forced bravado

of braggarts 

or the simpering shyness 

of pretenders.

All she does and writes is bold,

certain, 

and immodest. 

She makes men’s blood run stronger

and offers no apologies 

for the woman in her poetry,

and in her walk.
