I’ve never heard of Lanturne Form before. It reads lyrically and looks elegant on the page. Also, the photo is so eye~catching, I thought it was the reflection of a moon at first. x

I hadn’t either. I love Jane’s poetry challenges for this reason. She introduces new forms often. Some are quite lovely!

I used to write free form and an occasional sonnet because that’s all I knew. I love how particular forms add to the tempo and flow of words. π
