A Lantern Poem – So called as when done it should assume the shape of a lantern with a syllable count as follows
1-2-3-4-1
The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th lines further describe the 1st and the last one is a synonym to the first.

wind sweeps through tall pines
languid sway to symphony
composed in nature

This week my neighborhood is more suburban than urban. I am in the mountains breathing good air, and getting good sleep.
last night the rains came
nature’s lullaby
dreams danced in childhood
Twin maples, now bare
The smallest of the forsythia bushes, such curves.
Something was slittering through the crunchy ice
Remnants of fall long gone
That picnic table is doomed after many harsh winters
Old mini cabin holding secrets of tiny creatures
Crunchy snow and ice along upper edges of the creek
The winter sun was starting to set the light on the water was captivating.

I am trying a new form of poetry called the Lantern poem. So called as when done it should assume the shape of a lantern with a syllable count as follows
1-2-3-4-1
The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th lines further describe the 1st and the last one is a synonym to the first…..pretty cool!!

“I hold a beast, an angel and a madman in me an enquiry as to their working and my problem is their subjugation and victory, down throw and upheaval and my efforts their self – expression.”
Dylan Thomas
Sounds like he’s been on my insides.

Be yourself. Above all, let who you are, what you are, what you believe shine through every sentence you write, every piece you finish.
John Jakes
I need to listen to this one myself. I am forever editing what comes out of me..to fit what – I don’t know

How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.
Henry David Thoreau
For some reason the person that came to mind when I read this was Hemingway.
These are my contributions for this week.

scent of gardenia
infuse the warm summer night
I catch my breath
as desire unfurls
in a cloud of memories
