(ABBA ACC DDC)
**Waterfall **
`Wall of boulders painted at the top
with unstoppable white streaks
falling torrents gush down to creeks
where treasures lie hidden away from toy shops

Crushing water pressures pouring hope
onto jagged granite in drumming silence
my rough edges melt under your patience

a journey tedious and tearful
Our aching feet are making swirly whirlpools
playing with smooth stones, proof of perseverance
`

Roast this piece & suggest how to complete an ABBA ACC DDC pattern with:

  • line 4 rhyming with "top". "Toy shop" is a weak choice
  • the last line rhyming with "patience". I'd like a stronger ending
    I'm super weak at rhyming. I tried word association, online rhymer & thesaurus. What's the higher level techniques to try? Need your help 🙂

top and two don't really click for me. I would perhaps change it to flop, chop, whop, lop...

#

Maybe try changing the patience to license? see how you like it

#

stone to guidance or valiance

#

tedious and thus? maybe

#

swirly to fuss and change the whirlpools to highness or any other word that might rhyme

#

The poem in general is very good but I could dare you to use more internal rhyme rather than ending

I do have to say the cadence of the lines differ a lot between lines, if you have a lot of repeat in cadence you can get away with words at the end not really rhyming a lot more
Cadence example
wall of boulders painted at the top:
-^-^-^-^-
Turbulent torrents gush down to creeks:
-^--^--^-

if you talking about suggestion for completing an ABBA ACC DDC pattern with line 4 rhyming with "top" and the last line rhyming with "patience":, here

Waterfall

Wall of boulders painted at the top
with unstoppable white streaks
turbulent torrents gush down to creeks
where hidden treasures lie, waiting to be found

Crushing water pressures pouring hope
onto jagged granite in thundering silence
my rough edges melt under your guidance

A journey tedious and tearful
my aching feet are making swirly whirlpools
but with your love, I find solace and patience.

just edited, incorporating y'alls suggestion. Rhyming is definitely a contortionist exercise 🥲 I'm still open to suggestions. "toy shop" is a cop-out
