Author's Note

Diamante

The diamante consists of seven lines which approximate the shape of a diamond. Rather than counting syllables, in this poem we count words. The word count per line is 1 � 2 � 3 � 4 � 3 � 2 � 1, thus the diamond shape referred to above. You start with one word, and the seventh line is that word�s antonym or synonym, whichever you prefer. The second line contains two adjectives describing the first word. The third line contains three words ending in �-ing� that relate to the first word. In the fourth line comes the transition between the first and last words, with two words describing the first word followed by two describing the last word. The fifth line has three �-ing� words relating to the last word, and the sixth line is two adjectives describing the last word. The last line/word is the antonym/synonym of the first line/word.
