Your foray into this literary style thrills me, dear Sara. Your ability to construct rich imagery in a minimal number of syllables is impressive. Your lanterne's effectively convey the chilling coldness of frozen nights, and is beautifully crafted. Best wishes for the contest

thank you, dear Sotto. I'm grateful you see my foray for this literally style developing...I love the act of conciseness required. I find it challenging for sure! :-) I'm glad you felt the cold, frozen night...have a delightful evening, your poetess friend, Sara

thanks for your visit, Jeff. I, too, wasn't at all familiar with the Lanterne form. I'd seen several examples over the past couple of days and decided to give it a try. I appreciate your positive comments about my first attempt. Grateful for yoru support, Sara

Terrific imagery... I must confess to shivering just viewing your combo pic-poem, Sara. ~ Not a Cold Weather Afficionado.

Dear Cold Weather--thanks for your supportive and kind words. I started shivering the day the temps dropped below 60 degrees...so I can relate to shivering. I won't thaw out until March. I, too, am NOT a cold weather afficionado. Perhaps I could just hibernate for a few months....sounds like a good plan :-) smiles & enjoy your day, Sara
