Welcome to my bio! I love poetry, of course, and enjoy interacting with other Soupers. I am originally from Upstate New York, travelled with the U.S. Navy and ended up in the Southern United States.
CONGRATS TO ALL WINNERS!
I hope all that entered had a great time writing their tyburn. Challenging - yes! I try to find 4 great rhyming words that can pull together into a poem and will make sense. Remember that your long two final lines will BEGIN with 4 syllables (new word or words and end with 1 syllable (new word) and incorporate the first 4 rhyming words. See the example below.
There are 9 syllables TOTAL in the final two lines.
So, BEGIN your tyburn with 4 - two syllable words. We will call these AA, BB, CC, DD The X will represent syllables of new words. These syllables can be all in one word or more, but only 4 syllables total. Z is also a new word. The two final words in the two lines must rhyme.
AA
BB
CC
DD
XXXX AA BB Z (equals 9 syllables)
XXXX CC DD Z (equals 9 syllables)
