This is my first Lanterne poem, I studied the form rigorously, however I did have a problem with one line, and Tim was gracious enough to help out. I must say He’s a genius! And who else other than me is qualified to know that? Let’s make poetry great again!!!!

Skies falling, upon the ragged heart pasquil Tranquility ripples across the lake in plethora She is there, in my heart, a sweet delusion As I cross the waters wishing I was omnipotent I drop my oars on forest floor, seeking Aurore I run along the earth clad pathways towards the cloister Praying that accrued love still has her beholden Kneeling on one knee, I look up with a glint of promise The Lantern reflects back the softness of her eyes

Atleast u can write of love not hate. And u do better at it than hate. But u may just choose the later and it won't make a difference to me ever. I will forever be in love with my truths. So kudos for this poetry. And the pic is awesome too coz I'm a lunarlover.

I have no hate, although I do write about people who do, is sad when people use deceit and lies to propagate such violence. You have shown your real colors before.

this is your truth "Muslims never commit terrorism, they only revenge and avenge and defend. The fakes may carry out terorism but majority doesnt recognise them as true real muslims. Shame on u for yor hatred."

Irrespective of the form, this poem is beautiful and captivating, Arthur. I must come bathe in the waters of Lake Vaso where inspiration can be found in abundance! // paul

It must be my autistic mind.... But I think this is a great poem, whatever name you want to give it :) It is an absolute beauty, and a fav for me. That lantern tho, drowned somewhere in the lake.

this is really really beautiful, Arthur!! I did not know Lanterne was written this way and I think Constance is asking for one in her current challenge. gotta see what is going on. (by the way, did you ever read the article on Steven Jones? I have been looking up stuff he has said since and many support him even today)

Well this started from that, and my sump pump going off too often, then Tim inspired me by calling my yard Lake Vaso!!
