diamante

A form new to me, taken on a dare from a new friend.

diamante

NOUN:

lonely, aloof
sitting, thinking, waiting,
Student. Teacher...Maker. Creator.
sighing, realizing, hyperventilating
eventual, succinct:

DIAMANTE!

Poetic dares! They always make trouble for me and usually are followed by headaches, but this was well done as well. You my friend are a true poet's poet and one without boundries it seems as well. There is nothing like taking a title and owning it like you are!

now thats something different to be sure .

Interesting style...I rather like it, actually, because it seems to buck all the concepts of traditionality.

I adored your piece here, this is one form I have written but do plan to try one day, I loved your wonderful word choices and found myself smiling after the read, its a great pleasure reading you and thanks for sharing xoxo

Nice little 'definition' poem, but I've always hated this form of poetry. It just seems so unoriginal to me. I can see what you're going for here and I understand your message, but I just really dislike the form you decided on.

To each their own, I'm sure. It will never become one of my favorites, but a friend challenged me, and if I do NOT love Diamante, I DO love a challenge! Thanks for your two cent's worth!

I like the very beginning. Just explaining a noun. A newfound approach. A noun does stand along until added to. It can become anything. Your words are well aligned with the very subject and the outcome is just - perfection. Great diamante style. Love it.

Thanks for the challenge, thanks for the praise!

Stay tuned: Chapter Two is on its way. The subject is THANKS!

Be a few more minutes...Had JUST finished typing it, and the #^%*! WiFi at McDonald's picked that SECOND to reset!
