Delicious and sexy, confident and excitingly, playfully aggressive. Wonderful.

Wow... what a great, great poem. I love it! I sent it to a lover in a red dress, and she felt the same way... in fact, she said that she owned a dress just like the one in the poem. The imagery is great, the descriptions dead on... grrrr.... can you get a crush on a woman in just twenty-seven lines? ;)

LOVE IT! The red dress. The colour of her rage. 'they' try to box us in, as women, try to make us NOT go for what we want, what our hearts desire, they try to calm us down, kill the fire in us. All by making us feel shame that we have no need to feel. So, yes, I think all women must want that dress at some point in their lives.
