Malaise
Her gaze
Surveys
Mother Nature displays malaise, ban
Such thwarted plans, her gaze surveys—man!

A tyburn poem has six lines. Lines one through four are all two syllables and they rhyme. They’re usually descriptive. Lines five and six have nine syllables. The rhyming words from lines one through four are included in the last two lines in the fifth through eighth syllable positions of each line. Some resources say you can use the words in any order, others say to have the first two lines (in order) in line five, and the third and fourth line (in order) in line six.

Haiku
Glorious Gaia
Bountiful gifts surround them
Creatures lift their praise

Brazilian Haiku
Animals listen
Stories of age old glories
Never forgotten

Brazilian Haiku
Each one adulates
Falls down before Gaia’s crown
Sunlight radiates

Senryu
The perfect beauty
Takes revenge at every turn
Nature ravages
