If i were to write aesthetically pleasing ~eye candy poetry~ with seemingly empty calorie, would it not still have artistic value? I see your objection, painting, don't get your platinum colors in a bleach. Your swimsuit issues are still a number one seller.

This sort of made me smile hah! Clever poem and I absolutely loved the flow of this and how you’ve written “ If i were to write aesthetically pleasing ~eye candy poetry with seemingly empty calorie,would it not still have artistic value?“ good question, i would say it would, because it comes from your heart. I love that line about swimsuit issues haha! Omg! Thats one of the best lines ive read in a lighthearted poem. I always say this i dont always laugh but i did here! A fave this is

I agree, if you get something from a work, then no one has the interject-authority to say that you do not.

Hello Jude, your poem is a fascinating concept that challenges the notion of aesthetic value, questioning if visually pleasing poetry lacks substance. A bold stance against the allure of surface beauty, where platinum colors clash with societal expectations. A provocative dance of words and critique. I really enjoyed! Daniel

Thank you, Daniel. I thought to break out of my normal depressive mode and do a fun "cat calling..." romp for this one. One of my favorite styles to work in. Thanks again.
