The Lantern, a Japanese style of poetry whose structure makes it resemble the Japanese lantern.

Word count - words per line = 1,3,5,3,1

Still
Resting quiet awhile
Recharging the batteries once again
To face another
day



Syllable count - syllables per line = 1,2,3,4,1

Hush
Let eyes
Flutter closed
Feel the slumber
Peace
