NaPoWriMo 2015 - Playing catch-up
I got behind in my poetry writing these last few days for a variety of reasons (viz, working on running two Facebook parties for Jamberry, working some mandatory OT at my primary job, and a few other minor things). Here are a few make-up poems.
The prompt over at Wild Violet a few days ago was to write a Lanterne poem, another sort of Tiny Rhyme. A lanterne is a five line quintain verse shaped like a Japanese lantern with a syllabic pattern of one, two, three, four, one. Each line able to stand on its own, and the poem may or may not have a title which sometimes forms an integral part as a "sixth line".
These are dedicated to my cats!
