Poetry Contest

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.

Ocean Waves - Tyburn Poem

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

The rumble of quakes makes me humble
As hillsides crumble and I tumble

She never stood a chance, did she?

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

The airy merry day turned crimson
We grow wary with those we bury

*deleted, it's a work in progress. Submitted it without realizing it wasn't a true Tyburn and needs editing. My apologies

Flattery blooms, wordy flurried hums...
These drones cyclone; flirty, fleeting bums.
