Beautiful Black Men Poem by Nikki Giovanni
Beautiful Black Men
(With compliments and apologies to all not mentioned by name)
i wanta say just gotta say something
bout those beautiful beautiful beautiful outasight
black men
with they afros
walking down the street
is the same ol danger
but a brand new pleasure
sitting on stoops, in bars, going to offices
running numbers, watching for their whores
preaching in churches, driving their hogs
walking their dogs, winking at me
in their fire red, lime green, burnt orange
royal blue tight tight pants that hug
what i like to hug
jerry butler, wilson pickett, the impressions
temptations, mighty mighty sly
don't have to do anything but walk
on stage
and i scream and stamp and shout
see new breed men in breed alls
dashiki suits with shirts that match
the lining that compliments the ties
that smile at the sandals
where dirty toes peek at me
and i scream and stamp and shout
for more beautiful beautiful beautiful
black men with outasight afros
CONTINUED: men dirty toes, but this is the reality she added. That tinge of humor is needed in good poetry, Sir. A very entertaining poem, A great poem by the Great Poetess from the USA! Hooray, she is just herself and writes what she THINKS and SEE. Full of brilliance!
Not ironic at all, the view of a great observer, the great Amrican Poetess who was born in Knoxville, Tennessee, USA, Sir! Each poet her/. his own view and she wants to make known that BLACK MEN ARE BEAUTIFUL. She is honest too in her observations, she is very honest, read: that smile at the sandals where dirty toes peek at me...............with great humor too. Of course, not all black
