Comment from Curt Mongold
Personally, I think this is an awful form of poetry! Imagine reading an entire book of this drivel! Yuk! No imagination is required at all, in my opinion. Dr. Seuss could crank these out all day, and that's what I feel when I read them.
OK, off my soapbox! You did a good job fulfilling the requirements of the contest, and it is as good as it's gonna get! Best wishes in the contest that I will never enter.
Sincerely,
Curt

Comment from Word Weaver
Nice memories of the summer. Your Tyburn is really great and I like the words you chose. Also, the image that accompanies your poem is very cute and funny. Thanks for sharing this, Word Weaver.

One of my best friends has a daughter living in Australia. As I keep reviewing these Tyburn poems, I find myself intrigued. Maybe I'll play around with one later (after I finish cleaning the living room so we can get the tree up). good luck in the contest

Oh, do try! I had not heard of a Tyburn before and it is challenging to set out what you'd like to write about, then find those words! I lived in Australia for many years; my kids were all born there. We had great times. Australians live for the beach! And what a great life it is. Thanks so much for your review. Regards, Sue
Comment from LadyMary
This is such a gleeful writing. Isn't the beach wonderful! The words jump out with their activity, and knowing that there were six children romping and playing makes it even merrier. Good rhyme, too. LadyMary

Not fair... a summer poem when it will snow here today. LOL
Wonderful imagery, great artwork, and the whole thing just shouts of fun and joy.

I'm stuck up here in Ohio with snow also. So, thought I'd go down memory lane of those great days!! Thanks so much for your very kind review and specific comments. Most appreciated. Sue
Comment from Joan E.
Thanks for letting us "hang ten" with you.
The form seemed perfect for the topic. It would seem you had as much fun writing it as we did reading.
You chose a neat picture to accompany your poem, as well.

Comment from starkat
This is a happy, light and fun perfectly written tyburn poem, as you incorporated the two syllable words as the 5th through 8th syllables in the nine syllable lines. The poem flows right along capturing the readers imagination and fancy. Great job of creating this playful, punny, funny scene.
Delightful poem, arwork and presentation. I gather you live in Austrailia, where the seasons are totally different than over here in the States where it's ...freezing, snowing, blowing..etc.
Good luck in this contest! This should be a strong contender I should think.
Well done,
Be well,
starkat

I did live in Australia for many years. Now in Ohio. So while I was freezing, thought I'd take a "walk on the beach" for a moment! HA! Thanks so much for your very kind review and comments. With regards, Sue

Sue,
I would be more than happy to count the syllables and all that other fancy stuff, but back when I was in school, they hadn't yet been invented. Uh--ya don't wancha money back, uh--doya?
Reggie
This would probably be a great time to tell you that I just never do understand poetry such as this type. Not your writing, my feeble mind just can't comprehend it. Knowing how very well you write everything else I've read, I gave you 5 stars. I know this must be well written as well, but I don't know how to review it.
Best of luck in the contest as I sneak your .96 cents off the table and slip away.

You slippery little devil.....make off with MY money and not give me a fair critique?? No way, buster. Your honesty is not going to get you off the hook, here!
Go read the rules and tell me if I'm with the strict parameters, count the syllables, etc. etc. - THEN, you can give me the 5 stars! (tee-hee!). I guess I'll just have to rely on others to correct me where I may be wrong!!
Cheers,
Sue

Nah....decided your honesty was good enough! HA!! Keep it!!
Comment from Firefly54
Perfect form for a Tyburn! Well done! But wasn't it a challenge... Please don't tell me you thought this one up while waiting for the kettle to boil!
When you have a minute, I just have to asking you what "hanging ten" means! Good luck, Elaine
