Audrey Haick January 11, 2013 at 7:08 PM This is very well written, Debra!! An excellent Laterne! Love, Annalise

Russell Sivey January 11, 2013 at 3:24 PM This is a wondrous and amazing write my friend! Have you been experimenting with new and different forms Debra?! You are doing very well with them! This one is quite fantastic and done with such skill, I love it! What a tremendous piece, Great Work!! Debra Squyres January 11, 2013 at 3:48 PM Yes, I am experimenting a bit. Looking at a Sijo for a contest...it is becoming a task !!

Charles Henderson January 11, 2013 at 2:10 PM Lantern seems to be so simple, but I find them not so. However this is very good. Debra Squyres January 11, 2013 at 2:15 PM I found my first and last word first...one syllable word which is not easy. But once I found them, the inside parts seemed easier to write.

Frank Polgar January 11, 2013 at 1:57 PM I really like this one Debra! Faved. Debra Squyres January 11, 2013 at 2:16 PM Thanks !! Wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. One syllable words with the same thought or theme was the hardest part.

Arturus Australis January 11, 2013 at 1:48 PM I like the form. And a nice effort on your part. I'll probably have a stab at this form at some stage, when The Muse deigns to fill me with inspiration. Debra Squyres January 11, 2013 at 1:56 PM This was my first attempt. I think I will try a few new short forms..A Nonet or an Etheree?? I've written Haiku and Synru. Not very good one's but I followed the forms.
