How about The imminence, fascinating, scary castle that was across the lake from the sunny, cozy, inviting, cottage. Maybe you could come up with an acronym for it.

This is an interesting form and I think you did a pretty good job in it. nice alliterations , all those "k" sounds, and "haunting faschinating disturbing' was nice. a little spooky. you convoluted it nicely into a cottage. interesting that the cottage was warm and welcoming, in contrast. could use a little more music in line three I think. but the images were good and I liked the way you picked "castle" and "cottage" to contrast and yet remain connected through those 'k" sounds. as for a title; maybe Home? what do you think? estory

    Thank you for your read and review, estory. I'll take your idea for a title and put it with the others to be chosen today or tomorrow.

I haven't a clue! But, I like it anyway. Those in the castle are looking down on all the others as they become less and less affluent. Right down to the humble cottage, which, I hasten to add, is my dream to live in one day! :) Well done, and I will watch to see if you do get another title! :) Sandra xx

    hmmm, I kind of like the last one...I'm going to put it on the pile with the rest and pick later today. Thanks to you for reading and reviewing my poem, Dean. Believe it or not, it is a standard form, not one invented by a writer! I've always looked at it and wanted to do it. I was lazy today and said, "I'll do that." Well, it turned out to be right hard to do! Certainly surprised this hippie chick.

    light and love,

This is a beautiful example of the style which is well constructed for it actually takes on the diamond shape like it is supposed to do. Your approach here is very creative to start with a castle and end with a cottage - clever as most folks will pick either living or warm fuzzy nouns to evoke emotion and you do it with buildings :). The only thing I kept thinking of while reading it was "there's no place like home". I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.

    I LIKE that title! And I'm happy that you read my diamante and thought that it displayed the diamond shape; I wasn't sure! I'm flattered with your kind words, and thank you for your continuing support!

    love and light,

What about Hearts Home or Home of my heart? Maybe you've already decided. Maybe where will I chose? You obviously like the cottage but I liked your description of the castle
Good luck.

    Dear Valmay, thank you for the name suggestion; I'm going to wait for a bit to see if I receive more suggestions and then decide from what I have. I did like yours, though. Thanks for reading and reviewing my poem.

    love and light,

A very well-written diamanté poem. The differences between a castle and a cottage is huge and I would prefer a cottage life far above any castle.
