Diamante (poem)


Margo Roby invites us to write a diamante.  Here's my attempt:


flame

bright merciless

flickering awaiting luring

heat promise desire surrender

flying burning dying

crazy happy

moth

    Excellent. I was also thinking about flame but I'm so glad that I didn't because your version is very good. Hadn't thought to include the moth. Thumbs up!

    Love, love, love your opposites. How very clever. I am so jealous, now :-)

    Nice. A different set of opposites. I went with the first thing that came to mind:
