Here is my Japanese Lantern poem. Inspired by Jane at Just Another Nature Enthusiast (see link below).
~
Yes
Smile
Positive
Simple pleasures
Yea
~

OneĀ evening last week, I captured the sun setting behind this tree. The branches form the letter Y.Ā So as it usually goes, I wake up with words in my head. I remembered reading Jane’s post about Japanese Lantern poetry form.
~Here are the rules as posted by Jane on her blog `Ā Jane
A five-line, eleven-syllable shape poem take the form of a Japanese lantern.
-
Line 1: one syllable (usually the topic and a noun)
-
Line 2: two syllables about the topic
-
Line 3: three syllables about the topic
-
Line 4: four syllables about the topic
-
Line 5: Ā one syllable (synonym of or related to the first line)
Say yes instead of no when you can, always offer a smile, be positive, enjoy simple pleasures and all things inĀ nature.
