Although your poem is very nice, it does not seem to follow the requirements for the syllables of 2, 2, 2, 2, 9, 9 for a Tyburn poem. But thank you for sharing.

    Hi Wendy
    Thank you for your honest review of my Tyburn. The incorrect syllable count is due to my inexperience and lack of attention to detail. We live and learn.
    Take care, and bless you

Oh, just love fireworks!! ;) However, your first four lines are not the required 2 syllables each and your final two lines are not the required nine... A great choice of topic and presentation! ;)

Really sorry. Nice poem, but your syllable count is wrong in five out of six lines. Should have been picked up by the CRC and you should have been given time and opportunity to revise it. You've been let down by our lords and masters.

This is an excellent Tyburn poem. It looks like you have followed the rules of the contest. I like how you have incorporated all your words together.

Well done

An excellent entry for the Tyburn poetry writing prompt. I liked the descriptive words you've chosen and the way you put them into final sentences, Good luck.

Outstanding contest entry,
dear poet. We had neighborhood fireworks in my
area on New Year's Eve. Your
poem captured the excitement of their dazzling
display. Have a good January
evening. Blessings ~

    Hi Regina
    Thank you for your lovely review. I recently returned from Abu Dhabi, where I spent Christmas and the New Year. On New Year’s Eve, the fireworks display lasted 45 minutes!!

I love how your poem brings excitement to with words like "Vibrant," "Flashing," and "Sparkling." The way you've built up this scene with "mesmerising sparkling fiery glow" is wonderful. I could feel the intensity of the moment. Your poem really captures the magic of something dazzling. Keep it up!

Ciao ! The topic is still alive in our memory.

I personally don't like fireworks , they are dangerous and noisy and many pets left out side , poor souls, run away in fright.

PS: the 4 descriptive words are supposed to rhyme.

Vibrant and flashing don't etc

    Hi
    Many thanks for your thoughtful review. This is my first attempt at a Tyburn poem, and my lack of knowledge is evident.
    I thank you for pointing this out. We live and learn!
    Kind regards

    The committee usually gives you time to edit. Other participants , I noticed, need to edit too.

    It took me several times to get it right 😐 ( and I still have slips up) 😕

    Best of luck ! 🍀

This is an excellent tyburn, I don't think I've seen one for years, and I've seen two in a very close proximity of one another, a beautifully written post my friend, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

This tyburn, Fireworks Display, has the proper formatting and brings the thrill of watching the light and sound display back to us as we push into the new year.
