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 PartyFavor.gif Daniel.

All the examples are excellent (yours too Liz)! I also think this is like a 1/2 Cinquain. rofl.gif

Here's my attempt at this form:

Souls
Samhain
celebrate
faith's sacrifice
dead



Wonder if I should change 'dead' to 'ghouls' ?

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

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

QUOTE
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.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
