A dynamic Diamante John. Great contrast with your two opposites and your center line is a great pivot point. Excellent write my friend!

Wow! Now we are going back. I hardly ever write this form any more - I used this (and Haiku) as a springboard to break me into the world of poetry! Thanks for the kind comments. Regards, John.

Thanks! Yes, they are my preference... I sometimes struggle with the longer styles as I tend to get carried away and over-write, then spend ages cutting it down. With shorter forms (Haiku especially) it really disciplines me into focusing on what's important. Having said that, I'll poke around in my collection and see if I can find something different to submit soon!
