This tyburn, Beyond the Horizon, has the proper formatting and projects a sense of wonder as the sun's setting may cause the heart to wish it back again.

Good use of the form to showcase how setting can be a reflection of our inner emotional state. The words seem to let down, too. Good expanation. I enjoyed reading it.

Thanks Yvette. This was my first ever Tyburn and I noticed that other entrants first 4 words were always describing one thing, e.g. the sea, so I decided to make it hard for myself by trying to capture descriptions of 2 different things in those first 4 lines..

Thanks so much for your review Joan. I felt the need for some explanation as the Tyburn form is so brief. It's always a buzz to find an appropriate picture; it sometimes takes longer than writing the poem to find one.

You got that right--I look to support FanArt and I often have to browse more than ten pages worth to find a good match. Cheers- Joan

Hi Debra, thanks so much for reviewing this poem. I am glad you approve of the choice of words, because they have been amended from the first version I submitted to the contest. Because i had never written a Tyburn Poem before, the CEC got in touch and asked if i wanted to change the poem so it would fit the rhyming rules. I did not know that the root word had to rhyme, i thought it was the ending. Anyway, all changed now, and as you like it and think it is a great entry for the contest, I must have got it right in the end.

Thanks for your review Tootie.
I got a message from CEC to say I had to amend it for the rigid requirements of the Tyburn form for this contest. Apparently adding a suffix ("ing") does not a rhyme make. News to me as a newbie poet, so I changed the words and now it makes a slightly different version, but actually possibly stronger for the changes. More aggressive which wasn't quite my intention originally, but hey, we live in an aggressive world.

I love the ringing singing of this
I like it goes from dimness to shining brightness
And the photo is great
Dimming
Fading
Shining...bright'ning
God bless
