Cold Plunge

                             Ice
                    bitter, piercing
       shaking, gasping, plunging
     frost, numbness, glow, vitality
         stirring, warming, floating
                invigorated, bright
                             Fire

Diamante poems have more depth than one realizes at first. Excellent work.

Thank you Angela. It is so kind of you. This one took me forever. Loved studying the format. I also enjoyed playing with the words. I am quite in love with this style. They definitely have depth, I agree.
