(A diamante is composed of seven lines, where lines 1 and 7 are opposite in meaning and are typically one-word nouns, but may also be concepts or phrases. Lines 2 and 6 should contain two adjectives, which clearly describe Lines 1 and 7, respectively. Line 3 will be made up of three -ing verbs which refer to Line 1, and Line 5 is composed in the same setup with regards to Line 7. Line 4 is the focal point of the poem, uniting Lines 1 and 7 by juxtaposing two nouns addressing Line 1 followed by two nouns addressing Line 7.)
