they are bright, some times, some of them run on gas. i once used one while walking around an old cemetary with some friends, it was a blast. lanterns are better then flashlights.

I need to learn how to love again.
Loving is so easy when you don’t expect it.
Once you expect something to be there, the love flies away.
I will never learn why it works in ways as cruel as this.

You light the path that leads down to the water, the stones were slippery and you were clumsy, you lost your balance and took a swim, the lantern was there, lighting us, Showing us how easy it was to die.

lanterns are used to light dark places. We were going to make one from an old oberon mini keg after we drank all of the beer. They were on sale for only $16, all we need is a metal punch and a light bulb.
kevin martini
The lanterns light the life of love. Where is the love? We can make it with the light. ??

Is when you’re camping and you have to go to the port a potty to pee in the dark and you don’t want to fall down in the woods cause you are drunk and it’s slippery on the leaves.
Danielle Wiskia
The paper lantern swung slowly in the breeze. She looked around at the hundreds more placed in the garden and thought what a perfect evening!
Annemarie
A firefly in the distance dances slowly down the road. Moths hover near flickering in and out of existence with the flame. I place my hand on the glass and watch it blister.
Is lit. It is lit like a bumble bee while I watch justin bieber say I should smile while he does. It is kinda weird watching someone under 5 ft and a girly voice tell me to smile but its like a lantern!

The darkness consumed the night. In the horizon, luminous houses lit up the skyline. I felt so out of place here, yet so at home.
The light by which one is guided.
“You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.” is one of my favorite quotes. It’s written inside my car, and it remidns me of the time i walked home form the neighbors in a snowstorm with just a flashlight. Brillant.
Felicia
Somehting you need to use in the dark to see. It ususally has a wick that you light with a fire and it golws. Other lanterns might be used outside to hang for a light source
suzie urban
lighting up the night, burning bright, making the path so much clearer. fighting the darkness, safety and the sun in my hand.
Shelby
The world is lonely without you,oh lantern. The world is cold without your light, for in real, I am cold without you to guide me. How will I see through the darkness, how will I see you? Please show me your light once again, so that I may see.
Human
The light of the night was hidden by the luminosity of the lantern. Shining bright as we embraced who we were together, finally realizing our love, we stared deeply not into the stars but the light of a simple lantern.
Human
lanterns remind me of harry potter, i’m not sure why. they have this kind of mystic, sort of romantic vibe to them. i like lanterns, they give me hope. IDK. all your life you were only waiting for this moment to be free, blackbird, fly!

The cracked lantern filled every crevasse of his war-torn face. Remembering the steady drip of puss and the tang of blood, he caressed each wound with rough hands, imagining Sally’s horror if he ever made it home.
Clasped between my cupped hands, a pair of fireflies panicked and fluttered about. I rushed over to the stump where I’d set my empty lantern before tucking them inside and hastily shutting the lid to close them in. I watched as they flickered on and off repeatedly, crawling around the inside of the glass.
Lanterns are very useful when filming short videos about travelers. Lanterns represent not only the security of having light to see ahead, but a metaphorical knowledge in a sea of confusion. Lanterns act as a beacon, but also stress the unknown outside of the area in which we are comfortable.
Neil
The boat glided through the water, lit only by the glow of a lantern at its bow. I wasn’t sure what I was doing here, but it had all happened so fast. there was nothing I could do about the situation now. I hugged my cape around me tightly.
Rai X
That lantern’s been hanging there for years. It doesn’t work anymore, doesn’t cast light through the darkness. But still, it’s still there. I don’t think Gran has the strength to take it down, since Grandad was the one to hang it there, nearly 30 years ago, before anyone had ever thought that he’d die so young.
One day i was in the park and found an old lantern on the ground. When i went to pick it up i found a weird liquid inside of it. I wasn’t sure what it was but im sure it was for the lanter, an oil r something.
amaris
Thinking back, I’ve really been a pussy all my life. Not trying to get into a good college, staying in on the weekends according to my parents, getting walked all over by countless girls… I’m glad I threw all that behind my back. I’m glad I’m laying here, in a tent, in the middle of the city park, next to this naked woman, who may or may not have a venereal disease, I met this afternoon at a protest outside a coffee shoppe. No, I wouldn’t want it any other way.
A bright light shining for all to see. It is a beacon, showing the way we should go. Safety, warmth, and light.
Brittney
I remember lanterns outside the houseboat. Dad was fishing under them. Lots of bugs. I dreaded the trips, but loved catching butterflies. I remember the bugs hitting the lantern and clicking to their deaths. I could hear him light the lanterns before dusk.
jenn
The light of the lantern shadowed his face. But, I knew i was safe in his arms. The darkness was behind us. Then, the little light we had went out, we are doomed.
I saw a lantern swaying from the prow of the ship. The pirates crowed, “ahh” I feared for my life. The fog swirled around the glow from the lantern.
Chia
Lanterns remind me of a Vietnamese holiday. The lanterns are mainly held by kids..although it’s scary because sometimes one kid will bump into another and one of the lanterns, if not both, catch on fire. Then one person is lanternless.
Gina
i cant think of anything deep
or interesting to write about the word
lantern.
it just reminds me of camping,
which i’ve never done
so this isn’t a very good entry,
sorry.
I have a amber colored lantern that I had bought from a store years ago. I bought it thinking I would put it someplace when I moved out of my parents house. It ended up in a garage sale instead.
Staci Graf
What first comes to mind is a Vietnamese holiday involving lanterns. Kids are the ones walking around with these lanterns lit up in the night. It’s quite nice until a kid hits another kid and the lantern catches on fire..
Gina
a lantern, what kind of a word is that. not cool. i was expecting a really cool word to write about. maybe some hipster freak in starbucks will decide to write more on his stupid mac .
bob
The lantern was dim next to the trampoline. I was lying down on the warm summer night looking up at the stars, letting my mind go blank and thinking of nothing except for this endless summer and all the journeys to come. I look forward to every second of life and close my eyes, beginning to sing “Seasons of Love”, my favorite song that we sung in 8th grade choir.
Katie
The lantern lights my way.
Yet its artificial light makes it less fulfilling
To walk the dark path no one else dares to take.
Nicole
Ghosts and pumpkins. Those little kids giggling and tripping over the hems of their white fabrics, gathering all of their candy. The mysterious moon lingers over them/
Eveline
It’s an object that helps you too see, it uses oil, and was common in the olden days. It makes me think of whale oil, and they were usually metallic. They make me think of things that are old, and traditional, like they’d be comforting to see in someone’s house, but not nesscessarily appealing.
Olivia
The kids showed off their lanterns proudly during the festival. Colourful and unique is each one of them. “Mine is the best!” boasted the girl over there. The other boy hid in the corner because he had no money to buy one.
usually you only see lanterns in like the really old movies with the cobblestone streets and the beggars with the hunched backs, and the noble knights riding all around on their horses. usually they are in taverns i think

Latern. What can I say about this beakon of light that has been used for centuries to guide us on a quest. What kind of quest is dependent upon the person. It can be a quest for a particular destination, or it can be a metaphor for a quest for truth, insight, or knowledge. All who wander are not lost. However, if they are lost, laterns have the ability to guide them home. They are a symbol hope.

The flame is famous to the one whom it guides. Without it they would be blind, it is sight to the person who it guides down a dark corridor. Before electricity. Gasoline lanterns. Camping
