Sequence-Kiss of Life

Her
body
spoke volumes-
but he could not
read..
Her 
laughter
rang out loud-
but he would not 
hear..
He 
lived in
denial-
until all hope
died..
He
buried
rejection-
love came on the
scene...
He
married
this sweet-heart-
and made her his
queen

Nice flowing collection of LANTERNES... cool transition from sadness to joy. Well done my friend! Best wishes, Keith

A good piece of poetry this. It is not easy to bring off writing like this successfully as there always seems to be a jerkiness to the reading as the eye (and tongue) move from on line to the next. But that isn’t a problem here and I think this shows a mastery of the form. The flow is very gentle and lyrical. The use of ‘her’ and ‘he’ as two voices (if you like) also creates a good feel to this.

Very nice love story in this poem. Wonderful sequence, and I love the Lanterne form, which I haven't tried to do yet. You're inspiring me to go ahead and give it a whirl!

This has a great feel to it. the flow is excellent and fitting for the style. The occassional alliteration works well as it doesn't flood the poem and make it overly structured as this would, perhaps, spoil the narrative.
