Arthur Vaso Poet Lanterne

Notes About The Poem

 

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!!!!

Lake Vaso

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

Doug Vinson April 17, 2017 at 5:48 PM Arthur, sounds promising - her eyes are soft. : )

S.Zaynab Kamoonpuri April 9, 2017 at 1:30 AM 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. Arthur Vaso April 9, 2017 at 6:53 PM 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. Arthur Vaso April 9, 2017 at 6:52 PM 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."

Andrea Dietrich April 6, 2017 at 10:43 PM Seven on this one

Andrea Dietrich April 6, 2017 at 10:42 PM 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) Arthur Vaso April 7, 2017 at 9:06 PM I dont think it is unless you drink a bottle of red wine beforehand! :)

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart April 6, 2017 at 10:00 PM This is lovely Arthur! 7 (But not at all what I was expecting... how is your yard? ;) Arthur Vaso April 6, 2017 at 10:04 PM Well this started from that, and my sump pump going off too often, then Tim inspired me by calling my yard Lake Vaso!!

Tim Smith April 6, 2017 at 9:58 PM I was happy to help keep your lantern lit Arthur Vaso April 6, 2017 at 10:03 PM Thanks Tim!!
