This tyburn, Father Knew Best, uses the correct formatting and brings us to the point of understanding that what we thought we knew better about, we didn't. And so it goes.

A very well-written Tyburn poem. A parent always have the best advice for their children. But they do not always accept the knowledge and warnings their parents have.

This is a well crafted Tyburn that is a fine entry for this prompt. The requirements have been met and you also use a great theme about maturing and listening to parental advice. Well done.

This speaks the truth, and states that prideful youth lacks experience and wisdom unlike fathers who know and appreciate life better in all aspects of living; well said, well done. Write More Inspire More -- DR ALCREATOR

This poem holds much truth. It follows the guidelines given in the writing prompt. The artwork/photo fits the theme nicely. I'm glad to see someone likes "ly" as much as I do. LOL! (I have to self-edit that all the time.) Enjoyed.

you did a great job on this Tyburn poem. perhaps a little more high-brow than most. I hope a broad vocabulary doesn't count against you in this silly contest..

    Yeah -- you made me laugh out-loud with your 'high brow' comment...although, I've been called a snob even by family and acquaintances alike because of my 'vocab' and 'logicalness' (lol!) so, I guess I take it in stride now... :) :) :)

Great job for the Tyburn poetry contest. Pulling off a story in that measure can be difficult. But, you nailed it. I'm sure you will do well in the contest!

I'm finding I'm liking this tyburn style of poetry. This poem reminds me of the old adage "I thought my dad was an idiot until I turned 21, the he grew a whole lot smarter. " very nice job.

What an excellent use of the Tyburn poetry form. Despite the strict parameters of the form, you put together a poem that makes sense, is intelligent and has a point. Also, as a parent myself, I find it refreshing to see a son admit, openly, that a parent is actually correct. Good luck in the contest.
