Hey 🙂
A Tyburn poem is one that has 4 rhyming 2-syllable words as the first four lines, then two 9-syllable lines: incorporating two each of the first four words as the 5th-8th syllables (so line 5 has each word from line 1&2, line 6 has each word from line 3&4).
Confused?! Here are my Tyburns:
Bawling,
Falling,
Stalling,
Watch me stumble: bawling…falling…bust.
Understand: we’re stalling…palling…dust.
Swooping,
Pooping,
Drooping,
Glooping,
I run from the swooping, pooping birds –
Still ambushed! Pride drooping…glooping turds!!
😉
Basically, I had 4 syllables to play with before incorporating the words, then only one syllable after them…I hope that makes more sense now?! These were fun!
