I worked on a new poem tonight. This type of poem is a Tyburn. A Tyburn is a six line poem with a set syllable count.The first four lines rhyme and are all descriptive words. The last two lines rhyme and incorporate the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th lines as the 5th to 8th syllables. The structure is:
line 1 - 2 syllables
line 2 - 2 syllables
line 3 - 2 syllables
line 4 - 2 syllables
line 5 - 9 syllables
line 6 - 9 syllables
Caring,
Bearing,
Sparing,
Sharing,
Love provides the caring, bearing needs,
To show God's love: sparing, sharing deeds.
