Paper Lanterns

Protecting the flamelight

By Seashell Harpspring Published 7 months ago • 1 min read

In shapes of animals, flowers, and insects the paper lanterns are set up at the park.

The Structure of a sculpture that gives reference to the original.

Protecting a candle's flame from blowing out,

Now made into beautiful, elaborate works of art.

Origami paper, crafts, and dolls.

Stationary with luxurious prints,

Colorful paper folded into exciting shapes.

Small as a little snail or as big as a tower structure.

The electric lights shine and flow, as they flicker and drip,

Creating awe in the day and wonder at night.

Light a candle to still remember the original flicker,

The one that kept our lights of hope and creativity on.
