Lanturne
The lanturne (or lanterne) is a five-line light verse evidently derived from Haiku and shaped like a Japanese lantern (hence the name) with a syllabic pattern of 1 2 3 4 1 syllables. Sometimes described as a half-cinquain there seems to be no particular requirement for subject matter, though the original intention may have been a statement of nature.
Generally, each line is a self-contained statement, such that the poem is not merely a sentence arbitrarily divided into syllables. Some suggest that the form should begin with a noun, with line 2 giving an action or description of the noun and lines 3 & 4 each giving a further description, and the 5th line offering another word for the noun, though not necessarily a synonym or even a noun. The form may or may not have a title, but it can be an integral part as the ‘sixth line’ of the poem.

This looks like a lot of FUN Daniel.
All the examples are excellent (yours too Liz)! I also think this is like a 1/2 Cinquain.
Here's my attempt at this form:
Souls

faith's sacrifice
dead
Wonder if I should change 'dead' to 'ghouls' ?
Posted by: AMETHYST Oct 22 06, 17:27
Thank you for that nice compliment Daniel. I miss those cinquain threads we use to have... and this is a pretty interesting form to enjoy like that...
Hugs, Liz

This is very powerful. I would say it would work quite well for the introduction to Holiday poems of the same theme, and or seasonal poetry for Autumn! :)
This is a very strong example, is this your first one? ...

Hey Lori,
This is very vivid. I liked how L1/L5 off set one another, bulb/spring and how you've allowed each line to grow into a whole image. For a very short form, you've painted a very crisp picture. :)
Nicely done. Hugs, Liz

Thanks Liz - I've posted this one for crits over at Shogun's if you have any further thoughts.

Just a reminder, from the opening page of this thread, re 'lanturne':

Daniel, it really works! The Pyrethrins, found in the seed casing, attack the nervous systems of all insects, and inhibit female mosquitoes from biting. When not present in amounts fatal to insects, they still appear to have an insect repellent effect.

I was tired of the make-shift set-up that I had with an old end-table and manufactured 3-shelf unit on which everything was double-stacked and couldn't be accessed.]
