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
