Richard Lamoureux Date: 4/29/2021 6:22:00 AM I am not that familiar with this form but I like what you have done here.;0) Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 4/29/2021 8:12:00 AM 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.

Harry Horsman Date: 4/28/2021 10:49:00 PM Some only see the world in Black and White Milton, yet your imagery here is superb. Love the form and the poetry. Stay Safe. Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 4/29/2021 8:10:00 AM 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.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 4/28/2021 10:05:00 PM 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! Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 4/29/2021 8:09:00 AM 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!

Panagiota Romios Date: 4/28/2021 9:47:00 PM 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 Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 4/28/2021 9:50:00 PM 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.
