Black Poetry : All Gussied Up

[1poetsought]

ALL GUSSIED UP
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
All gussied up...
Word awaits the war
Pretty *** men prepare to fight
Cause ugly goes to the bone

All gussied up...
Comfy as death unannounced
No conscious is stirring
While sons are preparing
No hope amidst growing doubt

All gussied up...
RSVP's aren't forthcoming
Bang the drum slowly
Trump up their fears
Bush- them with lawn garden glare

All hussies stuck...
Hurried love ain't worth the trouble
New mandates are brewing
Economies stewing
All gussied up ~

interesting piece

thought-provoking piece...just a suggestion but with that great title more could be done with the dressing imagery that "all gussied up" suggests.

thx for your response to my work,

NO SPIN ZONE

Dear Seawoman,

As much as I respect your work, and invite your valuable artistic critisim, this is a no-no-know spin zone. If you want imagery then I would suggest that you watch CNN.
