Hi Kaile, I'm very interested in trying other forms of poetry(other than ballads which I can't do). In searching, I found that a diamante is a seven line poem displayed in a diamond pattern. It's kind of like a Cinquain! There are two patterns you can use. I used #2 Hope this helps! #1 Line1: one word (noun) Line2: two words (adjectives) Line3: three words (verbs ending in "ing) Line4: four words (nouns) Line5: three words (verb ending in "ing) Line6: two words (adjectives) Line7: two words (nouns) #2 Line 1& 7: nouns which are opposites Line 2: adjectives that describe line 1. Line 3: verbs that end in "ing" that describe line 1. Line 4: first two nouns refer to line 1 and next two nouns refer to line 7. Line 5: verbs that end in "ing" that describe line 7. Line 6: adjectives that describe line 7. Line 7: antonym to line 1. |
