LANTURNE POETRY PROMPT/CHALLENGE

[Joan]

Hello all,

I have a challenge or more of a prompt for everyone which is to write a lanturne poem. It’s just for fun, no time limit or anything, so I hope many of you will give it a try.


Here are a couple of links to the form and some examples:

it looks more like a lanturne if you center it


here’s mine:

spring
rains fall
opaque sky
children play in
mud

hey joan!

now this is the type of poem I can write, lol

here it goes:

sun
beaming
down on me
awakens my
soul

[Bob]

good idea Joan!

I like these type of poems, but I do not come across them often...

I'll give it a shot:

cold
heart warmed
by beauty's
tender gentle
grace

[cdlight]

cross
not his
innocent
he carried yours
grace

[Cherrie]

hello Joan, I love this idea!

Joan, Sierra and Bob and cd you all wrote fantastic lanturne's!!


here's mine:

tide
rolls in
sand pebbles
bead between my
toes

Here i go, ready or not.. thanks for the great idea!

grass
laying low on
fog muddy mind of sun
torn apart
shaken

[Lisa Arnold]

Joan, great idea

I love lantunre poems too, Bob

here's mine:

cross
of my
faith dangles
from uncertain
hands

hey all,

I wasn’t expecting to get many responses, great poems!

Lisa and Bob I love these type of poems too!

b4, I hate to be picky but the form is 1, 2, 3, 4, 1 syllables and yours does not seem to be in that form but I still like what you wrote!

thanks for responding everyone!

Lisa yours is wonderful and what a great image to highlight the piece!

[bridge]

you all are great at this!!

Lisa, you posted a great pic to enhance your poem!


I will give it a try

cold
water
from faucet
satiates my
thirst

[Eddie]

great prompt and responses!

[cdlight]

kinda fun...reminds me of haikus...they seem so limited with a larger meaning

[heart2heart]

Oh so enjoyable ! These seem fun ! Haven't seen lanturnes before !

Here's mine:

Sun
Spills light
On white fields
Day's journey soon
Done

[Sara]

here I go:

edge
of dusk
lingers with
the coming of
dawn

[Lisa Arnold]

gusts
of waves
propels mist
off of eastern
sea
