Author Notes
I have been mocked for my fear. I have been mocked for my faith. The choice is still clear to me. Sometimes they are the same.

A Diamante is a seven-lined contrast poem set up in a diamond shape.

The first line begins with a noun/subject
The second line contains two adjectives that describe the beginning noun.
The third line contains three words ending in -ing relating to the noun/subject.
The fourth line contains four words -- two that describe the first word, and two that describe the final ANTONYM/SYNONYM. If using an antonym for the ending, this is where the shift should occur.
The fifth line contains three more -ing words describing the last word.
The sixth line contains two more adjectives describing the ending antonym/synonym.
The last line ends with the first noun's antonym or SYNONYM.

Thank you to Loyd C. Taylor Sr. for letting us use his many wonderful pictures.
