fulfillment
satisfied whole
laughing smiling sharing
amazing grace fearful uncertainty
seeking pleading crying
lonely vacant
emptiness
Author notes
It is my prayer to be filled with the love of God and emptied of all the cares of man.

Outstanding!
Wonderful diamante my friend! I love the powerful words you have used here to show the contrast between fulfillment and emptiness. Have you written more? I just learnt this form today and would love to read more of yours or if you know any other poets on AP who write Diamante, please let me know. Thank You!

This is practically a whole novel crammed into a few words, and beautifully done too. Very well done! -
This is a beautiful Diamante poem you have written here. One of the things I like about Diamante poems is that you can so much in so few lines and seems as if you have mastered that challenge here. Beautiful write and also a gorgeous picture.

Lovely
I love and adore Diamante' poems. What an absolutely beautiful background too. Thanks for the wonderful and lovely entry. -
Excellent
This is a fantastic poem, Joanne! I know nothing about the diamante form, but according to Spiritual Poet you've done it exceedingly well! And, I really like the picture you've placed with it. Good luck in the contest!
Lots of love and hugs, B♥nnieQ

This was nice, I really like this form, how the poem looks like a hill, going up, then going down again. Very effective and very well written. Well done!

short but very powerful. Great job. I wish I could write short meaningful poems like this one. Keep Writing

This has come to be my favorite poetic style. Haven't attempted to write in it yet, but I love the ability to put two opposites at each end and somehow tie them together. You did a great job on this, Joanne/

Nice
Very nice. Thanks for this diamante poem. It works so well. I prefer the form using an antonymn in the last line instead of synonym. I think they are more interesting. This one uses exactly that and I like it a lot -
awesome, BE PROUD.
i write stuff like this all the time, it's the stuff that I am most proud of, and you should be too. Nice job with this. I bet it goes very deep into what you feel, doesn't it? I know that when I start writing like this, no one can get inside of me, even me.
