Joy – Lantern poems
Joy – Lantern poems
Lantern poems are a very short poem and easy to write! It only has five lines and this is how many syllables are in each:
The first line has got 1 syllable
The second line has got 2 syllables
The third line has got 3 syllables
The forth line has got 4 syllables
And the 5th line has got 1 syllable ( This line usually is strongly related to the first line )
They must be center aligned to look like the shape of a Japanese lantern ( this is why they are called lantern poems )
Joy
Grows strong
If we have
Desire to
Love

Great lantern poem marinela, well done!
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of lantern poems before. They remind me of haiku but with an aesthetically pleasing shape (I’m assuming the name is related to the shape of the poems). I’m definitely going to try these!
What a clever way to write poetry! I like trying to write Haiku sometimes and I think this would be just as fun.
Thanks for visiting my blog today!!
ooo thanks for the lantern tip and the sweet Joy
glad you popped by my site
Happy Monday
Fabulous!
I love simple truth. The lantern Japanese poem is new to me. Thank you for sharing. Well done!

Hi Marinela,
Has been traveling on your birthday.. Here’s wishing you a belated Happy Birthday.. you know birthday is a reminder that we are growing up yet it is equally a reminder to resolve that we would never let the child in us go away ever.. for that’s from where we get all our strength to live happily..
Happy writing and happier sharing..
I am so impressed by your poems and your blog!
I never saw anyone who has 69 comments on their posts!
I just realized how ignorant I was not to have heard about you earlier.
I love when you say “I hope you will enjoy reading my poem as much as I enjoy writing them” I used the same sentence in my blog on many occasion.
of course people are going to enjoy reading you because you write from your heart, and your writing is so pure!
Like an angel!
Thank you Marinela
Mirella
