The Moon and the Lantern
Lovers – Laturne
Bright
Lovers
Far apart
They longingly
Sigh
A laturne is a shape micropoem … it resembles a Japanese lantern and has 5 lines. The syllable count is 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 1. I tried it out yesterday on Poet’s Corner where Harry put it up as a challenge!

The photo and poem are wonderful together! And lanternes are so much fun to write — I wrote a series once to accompany Van Gogh’s Night Cafe. It’s a very useful form!

Yep … and think it would be cool to use as a closing for a haibun … a latbun maybe 😉

This time mine ends with a haiku (senryu) — but next time I’ll do something different like a lanterne. 🙂
