I don't recall ever writing one of these, very interesting, they look fun, like a puzzle. I believe I like the castle, and the cottage...so long as I had a 'staff' if I lived in the castle, ha ha...blessings...

    I don't think there's going to be a "staff" in this castle, IR, unless it is a ghostly one!

I think you have mastered the poetic form beautifully Jeni. I loved the progression and then then ending with an antonym of your first line.
Very nicely done.

Hi Luna,
I recall how I liked writing and ready poems written in Diamante format
You have quite a comparison about an immense place to roam aroud to a comfy and cozy cottage

A title why not title it
Compare your Style

Retrogression, because you transition from the ideal castle to the less than ideal cottage. A poem in the opposite direction would be Progression. This is an animated, vivid poem filled with details from the noble fortress to the humble castle. It is well-rhymed and shaped. Both abodes have their pluses and minuses. I am in a cottage mode right now. Thank you for sharing.

    But did you read the words describing the castle - it was not meant to be a happy place at all. I believe that this would be a progressive piece., no?

I think a good name would just simply be 'Home', intriguing write and full of all things you find inside a home, good luck with the book, love Dolly x

This is the most detailed description of the diamante poem that I have ever seen. With all those requirements it lays the form down fairly and squarely and, as far as I can see, you have followed it to the letter, and got a good diamond shape out of it into the bargain.

Now a title! I thought perhaps "Home, High or Humble"

Two perfectly opposites that end as one.
Your crisp descriptions nail the transition.
if I had to give it a name, maybe something like
"The Dark Light"
It seems you go from the darkness of the castle to the light of the cottage.
Great work!
Michael

My Castle is my home! Just a thought my friend. I like this well written poem you have penned with so many words to call our castle or home. Very good wording and imagery! Blessings and love, Teri
