I’m so sorry you’re going through this.
I’m not poetic, but if you don’t find much help here, maybe r/OCpoetry can help?

I'm sorry that you are going through this, but we do not allow writing prompts in this sub. Perhaps r/writingprompts would be a more suitable place, or you may ask for help in our discussion thread.

Thanks. I thought it might be against the rules. I kinda had that one shoutout in me, but thanks al the same.

There once was a boyfriend so rare. His brain it was shaped like a pear. Always in a hurry And dressed like a furry! A fixture at every RenFaire.

For the dog-themed gift card.

For a progeny essential, Comes a gift quite consequential: A little something existential.

For the “Road to Reality”

Hey man. I’m sorry you’re going through the hard times. Life is hard. I’m a Christian so I’ll be praying for you if that’s ok.

Edit: just stalked you a little and realized you’re a lady! ♥️

You're very kind. Thank you. And the community helped with 4 poems, which is 1/4th of what I had to write so I'm not lookiing that gift horse in the mouth. I'm not a christian, but I have to say that you worded that SO nicely. THank you for your thoughts (and prayers). :)
