Thanks, Richard, for your comment. Give it a try. It's like a word puzzle. Have a terrific weekend. I'm heading out for a vacation in Panama City, FL on Saturday, so I'm getting antsy.

Some only see the world in Black and White Milton, yet your imagery here is superb. Love the form and the poetry. Stay Safe.

Thanks so much, Harry. So true. Actually, this was one of the more difficult diamantes to write. Climate being what it is, I figured I'd get slammed, but I couldn't pass up the contrasts.

You are doing such an impressive job of going through the types of poetry and mastering them all! Wow! I knew this would happen once you got started, and now it has. Lovely!

I'm really not trying consciously to do that, Caren, but I do consult the "Type of Poetry" frequently and try to pick a form/format that fits what I want to write. I do enjoy wordplay and word games, so some of them appeal more to me than others. Thanks so much!

You blow me away with your outstanding words, and imagery. I see you in a tuxedo....you remind my of my date when I was a debutante. He had to wear tails.)) how great he looked. Great diamanté and not in a contest? Wow~ that doubles my enjoyment of it. Merci, Pangie xx

Thanks, Pangi. Actually, I prefer the poems I do NOT write for contests. I have more free rein on where the poem is going, etc. Thanks so much for your read and your kind, encouraging words. They mean so much to me.
