Help! Advice heavily needed!!
I’m trying to write something for my friend on her birthday but I’m struggling.
Usually I just write in free verse but I really want to do a rhyming one for this. Personally I think when I try to rhyme it comes off as childish and emotionless. So if you all have any advice or any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it!
Edit: thank you all for giving your input! I shared it with her and she loved it. I just added one more stanza so I’ll put the finished product here:
For four years we’ve known each other as friends
Through life’s ups and downs there is still no sight of an end
Through the nights of never ending darkness
When life was often heartless
Through the blinding brightness from the rays of the sun
I have never stopped loving you no matter the reason
No matter the time of day
We have always chose to stay
In the late night talks
The flirting that never stops
With the kindness of your heart
And your brain that’s just so smart
You are the moon to my stars
The bandaid on my scars
You light me up inside as if you were the sun and I was the blue sky needing your everlasting light
You always shine so bright
To you my love
Your voice is as beautiful to me as a morning dove
And your thoughts are as soft as a cool breeze on a day in the spring
With a love that always leaves me smiling
If you all would want to see the finished piece let me know! If I do share it then it’ll be in about 4ish hours and I’ll post it either in the comments or I’ll edit this post to add on. Thank you all. I’ve missed everyone while I was gone! ❤️
Your poem is amazing! I think your rhymes are very thoughtful and heartfelt. If you need rhyme ideas, what I always do is search up rhymes of a word and look at the listing and try different words. Great work!!
Thank you!! Yeah that’s what I usually do too. It helps when I just can’t think of any more words! Thank you!
I actually really like the poem! It’s really sweet! 💗✨
Thank you so much! đź’•
I love this so much! I think your friend will love it! In my opinion, I think the rhymes are the best part of it! I think the poem having those rhymes gives it a lighthearted and silly tone, so I don’t think the rhymes are childish at all! Beautiful!
Thank you so much!! I’m glad to hear that the rhymes are okay since it’s not what I usually do! I appreciate you!
