Lanturne due July 24

Lanturne

*Quill*The basic Lanturne is originally a Japanese poem, and consists of five lines with a syllabic count of 1-2-3-4-1. When centered, this poem ideally will form the shape of a Japanese lantern. There are many variations of this form out there, but for the sake of this contest, we are going with the traditional Japanese one, which states that the poem has to be about nature (in theme), and that the poem begins with a noun, followed by a description of that noun.
