Lovely, with remarkable imagery. I've never tried to write a Lantern before but you certainly inspired me to try. Your descriptions are captivating and very beautiful, I could picture the whole poem clearly in my thoughts which took me to a wonderful poetical journey. Excellently written poem.

This is beautiful. This is a form I have never tried. You did a wonderful job.

Great imagery in your words. Lets the reader imagine the city lights under the starry skies.

I love the vision of the firefly.

Birds

Great ending. Closing your eyes to sleep.
Wonderful job!

I love the form it sounds so cool and seems natural (unlike some forms). plus i cant help liking any poem that uses "firefly" i mean what a brilliant little word!

Such a shame you can't center align it. Simple and effective but I don't understand how toy count firefly as 3 syllables.

I count 'fire' as a single syllable. But then again, if you do count it as 2, then 'quiet' should also be considered 2 syllables thus rendering 'quietly passes by' 5 syllables instead of 4.

I like the first lantern better than the other two due to the subtle alliteration. Commendable work!
