Lantern Poem : One Life. Live it Well!

Wrote a Lantern poem which is a Japanese style. It’s a Haiku poem written in 5 lines which follows the syllable structure of one- two-three-four-one syllable per line and each stanza looks like a lantern.

                                                                   LIFE

                                                            Mystery…

                                                        Nobody  knows,

                                                    What   lies   ahead,

                                                               Next!




                                                               PAST

                                                            Sweet-Sour

                                                      Yours        Forever

                                               Can         Not            Alter

                                                               Gone!

      

                                                              NOW

                                                        All      Yours

                                                    Make  The   Most

                                                Every      Day        New   

                                                              Live!    

                                                    

                                                             YOU

                                                        Don't   Fret,

                                                  In        the       End

                                             What   do   YOU  want?

                                                             Ask!




                                                              GO

                                                       Backwards,

                                                  Your   Path     Clear

                                              Achieve    Your      Goal,

                                                           Peace!
