Yes -- it is a perfect Tyburn poem!.

This link is to instructions to write a Tyburn poem:
http://www!.wikihow!.com/Write-a-Unique-an!.!.!.

These are the basics:

!) Write the first four lines!. The first through fourth lines are 2 syllable words that describe whatever your poem is about!. They all have to be different, and they all must rhyme!.

2) Write the last two lines!. The last two lines are nine syllables (whew!) and the sixth through eighth syllables must be the words you used from lines 1 through 4!. In any order, but it has to be those words!. The last two lines have to rhyme with each other, but not necessarily with the first four lines!.

3) Try to take a second, and vizualize your topic, and imagine that you're doing it, or being with it, or whatever!. You should do that before anything else!. Then just sit in a relaxed place, where there's not too much to disturb you, and just let your mind flow down into your arms (hopefully not literally), down to your hands, and just out through your pencil, to the creases of your paper!. It really does work! Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
