I will forever despise
rhyming schemes with a pattern
that just goes A B C B.
Use A B A B, you lantern!

The last part doesn't sound forced at all, pattern really is a great word with many rhymes. You lantern.

But for real, this poem just irritates me. Yes, it is far more difficult to actually get a decent cross rhyme working. Still, it is so much more satisfying when it actually works. For example (if you want to keep the roses part):

Roses are complex
I'd love an embrace
Though rather not sex
Because I am ace

(Yes, this doesn't necessarily fit the pattern of discovering sexuality but so do the demi one and the poly one somewhat because liking multiple flowers feels more like a bi/pan analogy in my opinion. But that poem has nearly a good rhyming scheme: [red - golly - violetS - poly]).

This ends with a B

And this with an A

But if this one is C

Then that’s OK

What is "demi"? I've not encountered the term before.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demisexuality

Demisexuality is a term used to describe individuals who rarely experience primary sexual attraction.

A demisexual person generally tends to develop sexual attraction after they experience secondary sexual attraction – a type of attraction that occurs after development of an emotional bond.

Hot for the person you like, but you have to like them first. Ie sexual but only if you have an emotional connection.

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
