I want a dress that screams, “Fuck me.”
With shoes that tease, “You can’t.”
A leather jacket that clings in all the right places and keeps me warmer than any man could.

I want those eyes to follow me from across the bar,
Someone to offer to buy me a drink so that I can refuse with a harlot’s grin,
And it wouldn’t hurt if a couple women with gossipy whispers called me a slut.

But what I want most of all,
Is for that one individual to grab me by the hand,
Fingers laced,
To drag me outside,
Pin me against the wall,
And with a knowing grin,
Say,
“You were prettier when you thought yourself ugly.”

That's a great line. Has a wonderfully musical quality to it.

I liked the poem, as I said on MSN. No detailed review... not in the mood for it, but it's good.

Wow. Oh, I love the title! Heavy duty emotional theme here; probably a lot of people feel this way. It's normal to have insecurities. Your descriptions are spot on and wickedly (yet sadly) funny - kind of a smiling through your tears feel. I love the tone - haughty, almost arrogant, "I don't need anybody" tone at first, but then the truth comes out - "Please tell me I'm fine the way I am." You have a way of putting a lump in ol' Vorc's throat (I know - sap! ). You should write more poetry (but don't stop doing prose because you're KILLER at it!). I like this a lot, Kara.

I love this one ..raw ideas and brash letting rip. Anyway, bloody epic!

[Peppy]

Haha, the title is clever. Pretty Ugly. Humourous. Cough.

Anyways, there's a strong voice in the poem. It was dark, witty, sad, and bittersweet at the same time, all molded into one. It has a good balance of all the four things I felt. The piece sounds good because it says what it needs to say, nothing held back.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm....

Yeah yeah, so the title sucks...

Thanks for the thoughts guys.

Uhm, I think the title's perfect for what you're saying...

That was awesome, I saw your prose side coming out a few times but that was nice to see in poetry. You got your point through, and overall it was real good. Why don't you write poetry more? Or if you do why haven't I seen it? Awesome stuff Kara.
