Your poem is vividly descriptive, conveying a message about the hard but rewarding work on a cattle ranch. The words in lines 1-4 alliterate and all end with "ing," but they do not rhyme.

Rating changed.

A poem that reminds me of 4-H days. I had horses, but I had many friends who had cows and I always thought it funny to see them grooming their cows. Sweet Tyburn poem for the contest entry.

Hello Mystery Writer,
I so appreciate the premise and idea behind your Tyburn poem; however,
your chosen words do not rhyme. Thus, your poem will be disqualified.
Plenty of time to edit!
Please let me know when you have edited!

Best Wishes!

    Whoops, Mystery Writer!
    Just re-read again, and you need to edit the last line for the proper formatting.
    Easy fix, but you'll see what I mean...
    Best Wishes,

    The last line still does not conform to the requirements of the Tyburn.
    I hope you see this message and make the required edit.

    Take Care,

The author's words are engaging, descriptive, interesting and creative.
I pondered on the tasks of ranching. The poem flows and connects well.
The artwork is perfect and compliments this poem well.

You have followed the rules and penned an excellent "Tyburn" entry. Your illustration, of course, pairs perfectly and sets the stage for the words that follow. This is nicely done.

That's a difficult style of poetry and you did really great to stick to the rules. Your poem was very descriptive and the picture you chose for it was perfect too. Well done!

A fun poem that fits the contest's syllabic count - good job there! ;) The contest requirements, however, are that the first four lines must rhyme... :( Life in the country is grand (but busy)!! Would be happy to re-review if you decide to correct... thanx for sharing and good luck! ;)

I really liked this tyburn poem and you did a beautiful job with the syllable count. I was trying to think of a different word for the second "roping". With so few words in a poem, one hates to use a word twice. But alas, I could not think of another word to fit.

Well done.
Blessings
Janet

I enjoyed your contest entry, Mystery Author. Your rhyming words are descriptive of ranch work. I really like your picture you paired with your entry, too.

Your last two lines are missing the end rhymes.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan
