* A diamante poem is a poem that makes the shape of a diamond. The poem can be used in two ways, either comparing and contrasting two different subjects, or naming synonyms and antonyms for another subject.,,,the subject is named in one word in the first line. The second line consists of two adjectives describing the subject, and the third line contains three verbs ending in the suffix -ing which are related to the subject. A fourth line then has four nouns, again related to the subject, but only the first two words are related to the first subject. The other two words describe the opposite subject. The lines then are put in reverse, leading to and relating to either a second subject or a synonym for the first.
Here is the order:

Noun
Adjective-Adjective
Verb-Verb-Verb
Noun-Noun-Noun-Noun
Verb-Verb-Verb
Adjective-Adjective
Noun

  2. What a clever use of the form! I learned something new. I also really liked the falling, sliding, tilting sound of the poem.
