More Lanterns as promised - or should I say Lynterns *giggles*
Goodbye faux friends and toxic people, hello freedom!!!
Yeah, I'm gonna have to take it easy with the poems with my throbbing headache. I am relieved to know that my blood is healthy, but until I find out what the main source of these headaches, I'm gonna slow down a bit with how much I post.
Thank you guys for everything!

Always ♡
Been a while since I did a Lantern poem, so I wanted to do something simple.
I can feel a headache coming on.
Thanks guys, be back soon!

Rain                  
falling                  
in the stream                  
The savage winds                  
blow                  

                    One
                      thousand
        ­                leaves sail down
                         red, green, yellow
                     lost

The                                    
willow                                    
shakes and weeps                                  
heads bowed strokes stream                                    
sad                   ­                 

                               Light
                               it rises
                                It flies by
                                 A fresh golden
                                 sight
A change from my usual poems in terms of format!
While looking for books on Japanese poetry, I found this website https://penandthepad.com/write-lantern-poem-4928414.html
Introducing me to the Lantern poem! While haikus use the syllable structure of five-seven-five syllables in a total of three lines. The Lantern poem uses five lines with a syllable structure of one, two, three, four and one syllables per line. Of course, it's called the 'Lantern' poem because it's meant to be shaped as a hanging lantern! I can't believe I didn't know about this, it's absolutely wonderful! I'm so gonna write more of these on my page! It was really refreshing to do! ^.^
I feel so inspired!

Be back soon!

My rage continues to build
Behind this glass of a cell
This is not what I willed
My soul will burn endlessly by this window sill
But I suppose I should be thankful
My flames will not be able to burn you
And its glow is insightful
I will remain here amidst my blue
moon-kissedstar Feb 2018
Here we are, hand in hand
Like stars connected to each end
You feel me now, I felt somehow
That this will be something new and pretty
You're all the things I've look upon the stars..

Here you are, my moon; so bright
Like a lantern in the dark
I might've been good for the universe was pleased
Overlapping lives, it has given thee
Ooh.. ohh.. For the universe was pleased
*It has given thee.

Lanterns in the sky
swirling its direction to sunrise.
Golden flowers glisten by
bringing a sweet surprise.

Blue, tottering oceans
turn yellow from the sun.
Making such amazing motions
entering together as one.

Rising, steep mountains
gesture below the sunrise.
Sheer, rich canyons
below the lantern skies.
Sammie Aug 2017
You left me in the darkness without any light
Did not even turn back to see the horrific sight
I knew I should not wait for the time to fly
For here, I was only left to die
My soul awakened and my spirit glow
Finally the fright had to bow
I could hear my heart say, "Now it's your turn"
Cause, I had now, started to become my own lantern
Paul Butters Jun 2017
Here shines the loyal light,
Reminding us of Boxer Manson.
Still standing guard o’er us in Doggy Heaven,
Keeping his family safe throughout the night.

Paul Butters
For Manson, the boxer dog of Tracey Seddon. Sadly he died December 2016 from cancer aged 12. This to go on a lantern in his honour.
