My favorite line:

"Someone spiked the punchline" 😂

Overall I like the way it sounds. It has a nice flow to it!

Hehehe, thank you so much, new friend! It was a fun challenge to include all of those prompts in a poem 😅

This line alone "invite my child self to the table and whisper: feast on art instead of boys" is its own genetic makeup for a rather amazing poem.

If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to borrow its likeness as a generator for a poem idea? I'll definitely be sure to link back to you.

I read the line and immediately gravitated to the title: Stop Sending Severed Ears to Wayward Lovers.

I know, a tad long, but it works. Definitely Van Gogh inspired.

Cool beans! I'll begin writing it soon as another creative spark ignites.
