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.

Bookends
	

		
You and I are from different worlds


but seem to be cut from the same cloth


dyed by the same deep dark methods


virtual bookends


one and the same


though vastly different.


Do you ever wonder at the Tide of Time?
