A Reminder - a diamante poem

Missing image
heat
scorched, burned
sweating, suffocating,  stifling
unbearable moment, sudden relief
refreshing, redeeming, renewing
frigid, frosty
cold

Author notes

I commented on Gitu's poem "Alone." I commented on your 2 poems, " Yeah Right" and "This Mantra."

Here's the form for a diamante compliments of Spritual Poet:
A diamante form is done the following way:

Line 1: Noun or subject
Line 2: Two Adjectives describing the first noun/subect
Line 3: Three -ing words describing the first noun/subect
Line 4: Four words: two about the first noun/subect, two about the antonym/synonym
Line 5: Three -ing words about the antonym/synonym
Line 6: Two adjectives describing the antonym/synonym
Line 7: Antonym/synonym for the subject

    Oh this is needed right now the reminder and hope of the cold in several more months and wouldn't it be nice right now in the heat to be in fall at least.... When its cold we want warmth then when its warm cold lol..Of course when it starts getting in the 90s thats a bit to hot for me and the advisory thats out in Ky and 90 temps that feel even warmer I'm just staying in from it pretty much. Hope you got good air and are comfortable least in your home from the outdoor summer heat.
    Hugs,Sherry ♥
