April’s final poetry month prompt is to write a minimalist poem and I have selected to write a Tyburn poem as it has a fairly compact structure. This is 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.

Altruistic missions glisten hearts

I began writing poetry on a daily basis when I lost my Father back in 2015 and I haven't stopped since. Writing in nature is as much a part of me as brushing my teeth and I am so very grateful for this outlet in my life.
Aside from all things poetic, I am a jogger, a hiker, a creative mover and I also co-lead an online Untaming Femininity Tribe for women wishing to explore their femininity on their own terms. View all posts by Sam Allen Creative Coach
Wow!!!! Loved the words and awesome pic — thank you for holding our hand and taking us through this month of poetry. i just posted a poem about a talking Peacock. 🙂 Don’t know if it will make sense to you though because there is a cultural context to it – In India we believe (at least we were told as kids) that peacocks start dancing when they see rain clouds. 🙂

don’t know if it will make sense though! But you can read the peacock’s words and smile. 🙂

Loved it, Sam. The tyburn is a challenging form, compact with a demanding rhyme scheme and the words from the first 4 lines plugged into a very specific place in the closing lines. You nailed it! What’s next for you, now that poetry month is over? 🙂

Thank you! I start an inner leadership course in Spain next week. It’s a ten month process and there are four retreats. Hope to write next week but not going to blog as need to be fully immersed in the course.,.
