Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend

A kiss on the hand may be quite continental but... Diamond poems are visually structured and made up of an odd number of lines with the longest one in the middle. It can be as long or as short as you like, and about any topic, but the idea presented in the first half must be contrasted in the second half.

...............I've
.............written
..........examples
......here for you all
..to demonstrate what
the diamond form is like.
..Now it is your turn to
....scribble away and
......make it special
.........and just for
...............you.


...........A
......sunset
..red is only
rivaled by the
..glowing of
...the silver
......moon.

..............A
............best
.......friend is a
...treasure and a
wonderful blessing.
..But my family is
....very good at
.........testing
...........me.



Now go sparkle like a diamond!
