*Special thanks to Nick Tamborra for letting me steal his term that describes the demonic trolls that destroyed poetry.com (but I will use it just this one time. Pinky swear!)
A diamante is a style of poetry that is made up of only seven lines that are shaped like a diamond. The first and seventh lines are polar opposites and are nouns (1 word per line). The second and sixth lines are adjectives (2 words per line). The third and fifth lines are verbs (3 words per line). The middle line are all nouns: The first two words (which relate to the top subject) are opposite from the last 2 words (which relate to the bottom subject).
