Definition of "broomed"

Gertie was circling us joyously. Her glad free yelps brought the cousins rushing from their house, one lady furnished with a broom, the other with a duster. One dashed to the pansy-bed waving the duster protectively. ¶ The other broomed, militant, at the end of the delphinium row.

1944, Emily Carr, “Gertie”, in The House of All Sorts

From the broomed witch's spume you are shielded by fernAnd flower of country sleep and the greenwood keep.

1952, Dylan Thomas, “In Country Sleep”, in Collected Poems, 1934-1952, London: J.M. Dent & Sons, page 162
