I don’t buy presents for my coworkers and friends. Instead I write poetry to them.

I started combining their names with whatever words rhyme with it, sometimes with very funny results. However, Id like what I write to sound more elegant and intimate.

I also tried combining their physical features with whatever rhymes with nose, arm, eye… Sometimes results are also funny.

If it helps, most of my coworkers are women, all of them are strictly platonic friends. Id also write a poem to a male coworker.

    Read a lot of poets, and find one you like. Try to imitate their style, the way they use language. It won’t be good at first, but that’s normal, and it’ll help you find your own way of writing quickly. From there, it just takes practice.
