Your Best Tyburn Poem
Poetry Contest Description
Submit your best tyburn style poem.
A tyburn is a six line poem consisting of 2, 2, 2, 2, 9, 9 syllables.
The first four lines rhyme and are all descriptive words. The last two lines rhyme and incorporate the first, second, third, and fourth lines as the 5th through 8th syllables.
My example of a tyburn style poem is as follows.
Bike
Coolest
Keenest
Neatest
Sweetest
I rode on the coolest neatest bike
It was the keenest sweetest ride ever
I should also mention that the tyburn style is often used to write ekphrastic poetry. Ekphrastic poems are used to accompany a piece of visual art such as paintings, sculpture, and photographs. So don't be afraid to include some art work with your submission.

Dashing
Among the crashing and splashing waves,
Smashing and dashing into rock caves.

Disgust

Abrupt
Disgust for my touch, past fueled mistrust
At his name tears sting, erupt, abrupt

Through my window, Sneaky, Creepy Lee
Mesmerized by Peaky, Leaky me.
