  1. I used a lantern during the storm. It really helped me see in the darkness. Toward the end of the rain and thunder, my lantern began running our of kerosene. I was afraid that it wouldn’t last out the thunderstorm.

  2. A lantern is a light that you use to see in the darkness. It can be a beacon of hope for those lost, as in the times of slaves. It can also designate a fun time like a jack o lanern.

  3. The lantern swings creaky and dull in the rain storm. It barely casts enough light for me to pick my way along the dark cobblestone streets, but I must continue. I must get to her house before the worst comes to pass. This lantern may be hardly useful, but it’s all I’ve got and it’s what I will use. I pick my way over the bodies of the dead.

  4. Lanterns are beautiful, they light up the world even if there is just one, they’re more beautiful than many things that could take ages to make. Brighter than a million light bulbs, we should appreciate lanters more often.

  5. there are many lanterns in my garden. they shine bright. brighter than the moon even. the moon does not look much like a lantern but it is beautiful all the same. sometimes they come in different colours like blue or pink but they are always welcome in my garden.

  6. The lanterns dull light failed to illuminate the stone path as I made my way through the forest. The cold air biting at my fingers as they grasped its handle tighter. The moon above shone brightly. It’s luminosity putting the lantern to shame. But I was thankful for the comfort of having something to hold and distract myself.

  7. Light in the darkness/ Warm red glow. Firflies buzzing, making noises, hot summer air. Twinkiling lights at weddings, whoosh of lantern as hot air balloon takes off, flares up. Looking over green fields. Someone pushes someone out and no one hears,

  8. lanterns were the way to go. i mean, it’s a safe candle when you really think about it. candles have dripping wax and no protection…lanterns just have a burning hot piece of glass surrounding them

  10. All I could see coming towards me in the dark was a round blob of light. It moved along at about dog level. I wanted to run away. Then I saw that it was a lantern carried by an old man. He was attempting to light his way with it, but the light it gave was too dim.

  11. light is shining in an empty street. And I wonder about who is seeing this. And If no-one else is seeing it, then how do I validate that it’s actually shining? And is the light maybe pondering the same question about me?

  12. It was like a lantern raising the flame of realisation in her mind; she couldn’t believe she had never seen it, but Jordan was completely full of shit. She couldn’t believe she had never seen it before.

  14. lanterns, especially when they are the only lights available at night, can evoke romantic visions. how electricity changed human life, doesn’t matter. they are our primitive gadgets.

    kaorita
  15. a light. it gives people a way to see in darkness, lets people know when someone is approching. incredibal invention. From afar at night, people with a lantern look like small pinppricks of light.

  16. It was impossible on a rainy night to hail a cab and yet every red light was a potential lantern of hope as it drew near, then flew past or was snapped up inches from where she stood…soaking and impatient…

  17. Lanterns are usually illustrated as rectangular boxes containing a candle, although in reality any lighting device which can be carried or hung could be described as a lantern. Video games are especially guilty of this box-shape stereotyping.

  18. The glass seemed too fragile to hold the light in: a camping lantern, designed for rough handling and hard weather, gave off the brightest glow in the interminable darkness and defied its own construction.

  20. this is a type of tool or a common object that is used to light up a certain space. It is typically not used as of lately because of the mass amounts of electricity in modern society.

  21. lanterns are used as a source of light in case the electricity is not there. they can be made of paper or cloth, depending upon individual preferences or budget or both! i love chinese lanterns personally. they not only give light but also throw light on culture and history.

  25. floating in the sky so high. Make a wish and let it go and rise until it’s a tiny speck of a star. A brilliant star from your mind that lives to great heights and flies across the city.

    Lillian
  26. Raise your lantern to the sky. And we’ll illuminate this night. We’ll dance like heathens ’round a flame. While the world sleeps we are awake.

    Graciela
  27. A symbol of hope. But somewhat old fashioned. Some crafted out of delicate paper and others battery powered for camping trips. The warm glow brings a subtle joy, fulfilment if you like.

  28. bring Diwali to my mind.
    the festival during which i was born….the city lights up during this…feels special during this festival

  29. I use this when I’m out in the woods to see where I am going. It helps light my pathway so I don’t trip and fall in the dark.

  30. The glowing end to a summers night. Hanging from the front pourch of your best friends condo, visible in the review mirror of your parents car as you drive away. illuminating the back window. Its the ending of the summer. the end of the night. the end of childhood.

  32. Mike and Jack sat in their canoe on the lake. It was a cold and dark December night, with the stars giving the lake a soft glow. “Anyone out there?” Jack asked, shivering slightly. Mike held up the lantern. “Not for miles, I don’t think,” he said with a sigh.

  33. Had I known she would bring me a light I wouldn’t have brought my lantern. It was far too heavy, like I was carrying all the long deceased souls that had once carried it too. It’s light was faint, but then again it was better than none at all. Walking down the cold dirt road, the small golden light melted the darkness away before me, like butter melting into hot toast.

    That was not good
  34. It gives you light and a romantic hue on a hot summer’s night. We put it on the table outside on the balcony and sit and talk.

  35. there is a lantern deep inside the depths of my chest, a place otherwise dark and scary, past the bone, tucked behind the ribcage. It burns too intensely for me to handle, so much so that it welts my outsides. how I wish I could turn off that lantern.

    Ayanna
  36. it was a dark brisk winter night, nothing visible until a small yellow light flickered in the distance, a glimmer of hope in a moment of truth. a lantern.

    ian
  37. a light off in the distance, she follows. looking for somewhere to rest. no longer can she stand, walk, run. too tired to go on. she comes closer to the light. and sees it it not a house, or saftey, only a lantern glowing dim and she falls to the ground, tears rolling down her cheeks as she surrenders to the darkness.

  38. i was out camping under the stars with nothing but the light of my old faithful oil lantern, tonight was our 23rd consecutive years by this crook in the river. My family long since disappeared, the familiar trees each year a little taller became my christmas guests year in, year out
