Hello,
It looks like you did a good job with the syllable count. This is very good and your first try. I like the Halloween theme, very appropriate. I love wolverine.

Hi
I do believe you have written a very good Tyburn poem for the contest.

Halloween prowls Tricking Treating teens
Wolverine howls Wreaking Piercing screams

I wish you the very best of luck, Mary

This is a pretty tricky format which you've covered beautifully. Your theme is current, the elements appropriate and your use of language terrific. I thought the escalating of Halloween horrors from 'Halloween prowls' to the even more tormenting 'Wolverine howls' worked very effectively. Best of luck with this comp.

Wow! This poem moves with speed. All those 'ing' words makes this really come alive. Like the structure of this which is a part of tyburn poetry. Your author notes helped me see it clearly. Wonderfully written. Les

Very well done. I didn't quite understand the requirements of the 5-8th syllables but your fun Halloween poem has clarified that for me. Good luck in the contest.

What a wonderfully joyous occasion Halloween really is. All the monsters come out to play. Well written poem that uses terms such as "tricking," and "treating," to better illustrate the fun of the night. Should also be a good contest entry.

This is a super cool Tyburn poem, Anonymous Poet, although I think I know who you are based on the comments in your author's notes.
You don't know what you're missing by not celebrating, by the way. But..it's your choice, as well as your loss. That just means there will be more candy for the rest of us...Yipee!!!, lol.

Anyhow, it doesn't really matter to me whether you celebrate Halloween, or you don't--that's really irrelevant here. What is relevant, however, is that you managed to follow the example, the rules, and create an well written, wonderfully presented Tyburn poem.

You did that wonderfully.

Good luck in the booth...

~Dean

As far as I can see it has the correct syllable count. For a first attempt at this genre I think you have made a very solid attempt. Its subject matter is perfectly described and very descriptive. Well done on this imaginative and creative write.

    Thanks PoemsOfDD for your review and great comments for my first attempt at this genre I am not sure if all the words rhyme so may need a tweek if it does not meet requirement but I really appreciate your support I wil have to wait and see ,Just a bit of fun having a go anyway Cheers

    Unless it is specified a must for rhyme I don't think you have much to worry about. :-)

    Thanks I will wait and see. Many thanks Cheers

    Sorry, just read it again. I should have picked up on it in the first place as it should rhyme. Perhaps change the second to last word to 'themes' to rhyme with 'screams' of the last word on the last line. Food for thought. DD
