This is a very easy form of poetry.  It is great when your muse is temporarily unavialable.

Diamante

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

To make it a bit simpler, here is a diagram.

Line 1: Noun or subject
Line 2: Two Adjectives
Line 3: Three -ing words
Line 4: Four words about the subject
Line 5: Three -ing words
Line 6: Two adjectives
Line 7: Synonym/antonym for the subject

It is a blessing to have wings for words, and passion in pen
