Hello Poet,
You've written an excellent Tyburn poem for the contest
with very good word choices and rhymes.
The last two lines not only read well, but make sense,
something many entries lack.
Well done with excellent art work to match.
Best wishes and good luck in the contest.
Robert

    Robert, thank you. I confess this Tyburn poetic style is quite more challenging than first look. This is my first completed poem that I felt warranted a review. I appreciate the good wishes.

Brilliant rhymes and word-choices--clever wordplay--spot-on title--which doesn't repeat lines of poem as so many do--Fine work in this tyburn form! Good luck.

To me the tyburn is a very challenging form--not only working in all the rhymes, but creating a smooth flow. You have done it, with well-chosen words, while conveying a coherent message.

This is a competently constructed Tyburn poem, adhering to contest format requirements. The action words fit well together describing the activities in a relatively unforced manner, something that other entries sometimes have difficulties with.

    Hi LisaMay, I have found Tyburn poems to be quite difficult and this is one of the first I felt was worthy of review.

The author's words are different, descriptive and creative. I found the words of this poem to be interesting. The poem flows and connects well.
The artwork is perfect and compliments these words.

Nobody seems to mend anything anymore, clothes ate so cheap to make these days that people either give them to op shops, or consign them to the Rag bin. We always had needle and thread when I was young. A beautifully written tyburn, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

This is not an easy format and you've succeeded in creating a piece that has great rhythm and rhyme- plus makes sense! Some can sound very awkward and contrived. Well done!

    June, thank you so much! I agree this is the first time I felt had something worthy of being read. While is sounds so easy to do a Tyburn, I find this is no so for me.

This looks like my sewing cupboard with all my needles with different colour thread ready to stitch and mend, you brought all the clever words that reminded me of my mending jobs here, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

    I must be honest, this is my first, after far to many unsuccessful attempts that I felt it worthy to display. Thank you for the good wishes!
