I don't have a clue how to do this form Jan. Kudos on creating one! You did well! : )

Technically my poem isn't correct as the form says one two syllable word but Kim is allowing a little leeway. i am working on one with the proper form but it needs tweaking, it is quite a challenge!:-) hugs jan xx

Jan, I see you "got 'er done." Yes, on the two words vs. one 2-syllable word thing, I think she is going to allow both ways now. So I think you will be fine with this one. I wish I really understood the rule. IF I go by Soup's definition, it needs to be a 2-syllable word?? Bu for me, the examples of tyburn poems displayed with the form did not seem to rhyme. Anyway, you DID IT!! It will be fun seeing them when they are all together on the winner list!

I got it done in the end Andrea but it is a challenge:-) I'm so glad Kim is allowing a little leeway with the form and allowing 2 words hugs jan xx

Thanks Tom, I've not tried this form before and found it quite a challenge with the restricted syllables and placing of the words in a certain order:-) hugs jan xx
