Colleen’s Weekly #Poetry Challenge ~ Music

#TankaTuesday #Poetry Challenge No. 280, 7/12/22, #SpecificForm: Lanturne or Lanterne

A lanterne is a cinquain form of poetry, in which the first line has one syllable and each subsequent line increases in length by one syllable, except for the final line that concludes the poem with one syllable (1-2-3-4-1). Its name derives from the lantern shape that appears when the poem is aligned to the center of the page.

        No, I’m thrilled that you are willing to try new things. We all should try new forms. Remember, these challenges are to help us practice. 💜
