Time

Coolest

Cruelest

Mulish

Ghoulish

Striking with the coolest, cruelest blow

Time makes for a mulish, ghoulish beau

  • trying out a new (to me) form.  This a Tyburn for anyone interested in giving it a shot.

Tyburn

A six line poem consisting of 2, 2, 2, 2, 9, 9 syllables.

The first four lines rhyme and are all descriptive words. The last two lines rhyme and incorporate the first, second, third, and fourth lines as the 5th through 8th syllables.

    THAT is impressive.  Don’t you wonder who suddenly felt like writing a poem that way and why?
