             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.
              Your sell of body and lack of prose-
                       always a fashion trend, 
                        "The Beautiful Ones".
      Why don't you swing your cutesy panoramass 
                              over here and...

Silent One Date: 1/20/2024 6:58:00 AM A short poem? Are you unwell? Just kidding..Your poem provokes thought and challenges the status quo, making it a compelling piece of commentary on the intersection of art and aesthetics.. Be careful of those beautiful ones, but I must admit once someone asked me to write a poem about the beautiful ones then he decided to label as one.. swings and roundabouts... i guess.

Ink Empress Date: 1/20/2024 2:08:00 AM 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 Login to Reply Jude Herrick Date: 1/20/2024 11:17:00 AM I agree, if you get something from a work, then no one has the interject-authority to say that you do not.

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 1/19/2024 4:50:00 PM 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!

One of my favorite styles to work in. Thanks again.
