May a hundred lantern will enlighten
You. Yours.
A lifetime with a sublimation, You
May your sky enlighten me. Within.
Inside the grass thatched Eastern hut,
Far through the snakes rising on the wall,
The luminous lantern lights were blown off.

Silent One’s Monoku 1: Your Best Contest

He dressed as a jack-o-lantern
costumed in uncommon pattern
strode through the park
though it was dark
and was mistaken for slattern
In the shifting air
the sweet scent of candy corn
candle wax burning
All doors are open
an ancient mystery lives
I bask in its glow
The smallest, orange flicker
Is all you ever need be
Light a way by lantern, so
I may keep you through my darkest hours

Sea dusk has lure-fish.
Desert loss without lantern.
Beam of angler-fish.
I enjoy a lot
A decorated lantern
Fall fashion beauty
With a lit candle inside
A calm relaxed feel within

lantern-minds drift through the dusk
seeking truths the stars once kept
finding light in shadowed water
wisdom softly blooms
A bright Jack-O-Lantern lamp
Sits in my autumn hallway
Shows my love of Halloween
While shedding great light

Lights the sky
For a moment
Boom!
Is it too much to ask
for true love
a love that reaches eternity
then flicker like a lantern brightly in the sky
phasing out before our eyes
A giant pumpkin
With the fruit scooped out for pie
A Halloween treat
I make a Jack-O-Lantern
And grin at its glowing face
For Susan’s tanka contest

LANTERN POEM
Wild Wilma woodland faerie
lived in a lantern with lucky Larry
An elf resolved to never commit or marry
This is why he soon lost his love, Wilma faerie
Orange fantasy
Carved smiling face, a candle
Lit inside its soul
Flickering beauty inward
A calm feeling from within
Russell Sivey
I have twenty-two
Ready and willing pumpkins
Waiting for the time
Of all hallows eve coming
Doing Jack-O-Lantern thing
Russell Sivey
Remember,
keep your jack-lantern lit
‘cause on this eve should its flame quit,
dead-bolted doors won’t protect you
from baleful spirits pouring through!
I thought I could hear, that deviant sound
of eerie boots, disobedient ground
Wearing disguises
Sharing surprises
Jack-Lantern, miscreant, boys are around
frightened pale shadows
waltz nervously on the walls;
thunder storm rages inside.
flickering lantern flame
ebbs its glow, surrenders to dark.

Seeking the local coven’s cavern
a pumpkin rolled into a tavern
he met with a wise wizard
who slit him stem to gizzard
now he’s a gruesome jack ‘o lantern
A jack-o-lantern gazed into my eyes
Then tried to eat me as a prize
His sharp teeth then sank
Into the crack of my crank
Then he rolls out wearing a disguise
