This is a very short form called the Lanturne.  The Lanturne is a five-line verse shaped like a Japanese lantern with a syllabic pattern of one, two, three, four, one.

    What a wonderful verse to go along with this picture. Lanturnes are beautifully shaped forms of poetry, thi sone flowed so well and is so sincere and heartfelt as well.
