A super fun read! I love how you basically wrote a short story in poem format, that was really fun to experience. Your literal use of the key words was also very fun!

    Nice review. Disappointing rating. Thanks.
Comment from Patty Mazzurco
Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted

Your poem effectively integrates the given words into a narrative with a clear storyline and a touch of humor. It captures a moment of unexpected tragedy with a blend of light-hearted and serious elements.

Just a thought
To enhance the buildup to the climax, consider adding a more vivid description of Joy's reaction:

Original:
"Joy's face turned purple, she struggled for breath.
She fell to the floor in a desperate state."

Revised:
"Joy's face flushed a deep, alarming shade,
Her breathing quickened as she struggled to cope.
She collapsed to the floor, her hopes all but betrayed,
A tragic twist in her date with fate, a cruel joke."

Either way, I love it!
