I'm loving the alliteration here and the sentiments of the lawlessness in the cowboy days and I am glad we have some control over guns these days, although there have been some tragedies of late, a fine write, love Dolly x

Thanks so much Dolly for the kind review and comments. It was a fun poem to write, yet I had never heard of it before. Thanks again!
Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
You have done a good job on this contest entry. You have met all requirements. The font size is easily read. I like it centered on the visual. The visual fits perfectly. Job well done. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from karenina
Big Gunsmoke fan here, I confess! Matt Dillon made my young heart go pitter pat.
Clever morph into "Dillion" -- The Tyburn is one of those forms that begs a bit of original flavor.
You provided that!

Awe thanks so much Karenina, for the lovely review and such kind comments! I especially love that we both had crushes on Matt Dillon.
I have now boycotted news and crud on tv, so have been into the insp channel on dish network and watch a lot of the old westerns. Not sure why, but it brings me back to the good ole days. Y'know? Thanks for the fun review my friend!
-
FreeVee has a lot of great old shows as well. Beats 24/7 propaganda... Er, news, er alternative facts!
-
Thanks Sweetie! I never heard of that before. But we probably couldn't get it here anyway. Thanks again my awesome friend!
-
It comes for us in the Amazon TV package...
FYI!
-
Hmmm, I'm Amazon prime, maybe I should look into that. Thanks Hon!
-
If you get Prime TV just keep clicking down the menu....
You'll be amazed at what you get!
FreeVee has some great blooper show's especially enjoyed the ones from the old classics.
Seeing Bogart, Cagney, Stewart blow their lines is hysterical!

I may need something different like that when I get out of the hospital next week
Thanks K

Have you ever read "Love, Medicine, and Miracles" by Bernie Siegel??
It's a must read-- post hospitalization!
Comment from Gloria ....
What an interesting format. Based on your instruction, you have aced this Tyburn poem.
Just one point is that Matt Dillon is spelled without the second i, but perhaps this is using poetic license to link with the millions, although it works perfectly fine without that.
Wishing you all the best in the voting booth. :))

Thank you so much Gloria. You are absolutely right about Matt Dillon's spelling. I appreciate you pointing that out. Thank you. And you know I had never heard of this kind of poetry, but when I read about the contest it sounded like a fun challenge. Thank you again for the pointer and for the lovely review.
Comment from Raul1
This is a very good Tyburn poem. I find it very hard to write one. I think this took you a while to write it. Excellent work! no mistakes found. Thank you for sharing! Good luck!

Thanks so much Janet. It was the first time I had tried a poem like this and have always wanted to write something on my old favorite western. I loved that you watched it too, as I wasn't sure how many could relate. Thanks for the fun review!
Comment from LateBloomer
Hello author, very good. Gunsmoke brings back fond memories. I use to watch Gunsmoke with my Grandma. I like your poem. Good descriptive writing and good rhyming words. I especially liked:
Dillion
Killin
(Gunsmokes had its share of bad guys and killin'.)
Good Tyburn format. Great photo choice. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. LateBloomer

I love this show. My mother watched this show in the hospital before she died. Even though she was very weak and sick, she watched this show. I watch is often. I stream it on my television. I love the picture. Thank you for sharing. You did a great job with a few words. Good luck in the contest.

Thanks Carolyn! I love that you too watch it.. I rarely watch regular tv as I mainly like the oldies, so it's fun that you could relate. Thanks for the fun review.

Comment from K.L. Rockquemore
I enjoyed this unique poetry style. I was unfamiliar of it until now, thanks for exposure:) I love learning about different styles, fun to experiment.
You did a terrific job with the prompt, very creative. The rhymes work well without force and create a bouncy rhythm for the reader to follow. This is a good contest entry that should do well. Good luck.

great Tybun poem. I am jealous. I tried my hand at it and it was so lame compared to your entry. Oh well, we live and learn and try again another time.

Thanks Jake! I am a western lover from back in the time, more so than even my husband, so always meant to do one w Gunsmoke so we'll see how many can even relate. Thanks for the kind review my friend!
