Bad Poet 2026: Day 16

  • by

The Prompt

Today’s prompt was to write or paint the same subject in 3 different ways. This connected to the idea of images that we can come back to time and again with fresh eyes. I semi-cheated today. I wrote a poem, and I’m sharing older visual works too.

The Poem & Art

I don’t know where it came from
I was never one of those
Lisa Frank girls
all pink, puppies, and unicorns

But now I crave
hearts
and love

time
and
again

usually not
pink, puppies, and unicorns

no
something deeper,
darker,
shinier

but still satisfying
the needs of my
inner child

Processing

Sometimes when I look at some of my works, I am a little surprised. Because I wasn’t a girly girl as a kid. Nor am I one now. Yet, hearts or love are in a lot of my art pieces. It’s something I do come back to in various forms.

Do any of these three creations tug your heart strings? How so? What’s a theme or topic that you revisit time and again in your life?


How can you support my creative work?

Buy me a brew!
If we were together, and I read you my poem, you might want to buy me a brew. Coffee at a shop is $5. A beer at a pub is $8. Any amount would be appreciated and well used!
