Here is the Poetry form
A Diamante is a seven-lined contrast poem set up in a diamond shape. The first line begins with a
noun/subject, and second line contains two adjectives that describe the beginning noun. The third line
contains three words ending in -ing relating to the noun/subject. The forth line contains two words that
describe the noun/subject and two that describe the closing synonym/antonym. If using an antonym for
the ending, this is where the shift should occur. In the fifth line are three more -ing words describing
the ending antonym/synonym, and the sixth are two more adjectives describing the ending
antonym/synonym. The last line ends with the first noun's antonym or synonym.

I am quite familiar with this form as I have taken a class in it. The words choices, individually, paint vibrant images, but placed together it doesn't seem to have a smooth blending. I dunno. Maybe it's just me. I'll have to come back to this again. Thank you for entering my contest and good luck.
