Comment from Poetic Friend
Susan,
I can see why this poem placed in the contest. It was just a delight to read it. I love the alliteration and rhymes. The poem was so well written that I heard all the chatter and the patter.
I have a cat, and I can always tell when a bird is nearby because I hear the cat's clatter (as your poem creatively describes).
Great job with this poem.

Very cute, Susan, with a lovely, fetching presentation.
The assonance is truly catchy and inventive, the form perfectly selected and composed, and the imagery virtually makes the spirit dance.
Your skills continue to amaze ... a huge thank you for the sweet treat of this one! ~ Richard : )

this is a cute contest entry for the tyburn.
It gives a picture in the mind of what is going on without the use of a picture. I don't know if you will have to change it or possibly be disqualified as the first four are supposed to be the 5th through the 8th. and your first line is the 4th through the 7th.

Comment from WalkerMan
Your current version of this definitely fits the required Tyburn form, and the poem itself is fun to read. The crowd of birds in the bath is amusing and most appropriate too for your theme. Well done.

Comment from Quantum Traveler
I Love the Finale of "Little Bird Told Me".
The Image is Perfect for the Writing giving it a Certain Humorous Conclusion of the Comings and Goings of One's Internal Workings in Life.
The Finale Pulled it All Together with a Humorous Conclusion.
Nicely Done Susan...Quantum Traveler...Phil.

Congratulations on your deciphering of the Tyburn code, and writing a charming, lilting poem in the process! This formula is way beyond me. I enjoyed a chuckle as I pictured the scene you so uniquely described. Good job! Hummingbirdhill

Comment from William Ross
I like the idea on this but is not done just right by the rules of a tyburn, the rhyming words should fit in the 5th through 8th syllable count on the last two lines, yours are not. Will be glad to review if corrected to fit the tyburn specs. have a great day
Move foul in front of clatter and its true to form

ok..let me study up on the form...I thought i had it right.
-
changed it..but confused by what you are saying,..google says,
2
2
2
2
9..with 1st and 2nd line
9...with 3rd and 4th line
-
I went and looked, still not right, the two rhyming words on the last two lines can not end or begin the line. they should one after the other in the 5th,6th,7th and 8th syllable count, one word 5th and 6th the next rhyme 7th and 8th, in the 9 syllable run. i hope this helps.
-
Thank you! If it's not correct..LOL I give up!
-
Put foul in front of clatter and it will be in good form, Ill review to the 5

okey dokey hokey pokey! :-)
