Diamante Contest Finalized

Let me congratulate all the winners and thank all who entered the Diamante contest.  I will comment that two things prevented some from making the winner's list

1.  Not using action or doing words in line 3

2.  Not having two short phrases in line 4.

3. Remember that when we are listing words in a row, they are separated by commas.

      Ex.   jumping, dancing, singing

 

Contest Description

What to Submit? Diamante Poem

A diamante poem is made up of 7 lines using a set structure:

Line 1: Beginning subject
Line 2: Two describing words about line 1
Line 3: Three doing words about line 1
Line 4: A short phrase about line 1, a short phrase about line 7
Line 5: Three doing words about line 7
Line 6: Two describing words about line 7
Line 7: End subject

When a diamante poem is written it takes on the shape of a diamond.

Diversity   

Colorful, plentiful

Varying, growing, beaming

Composed of many and never the same

Multiplying, arranging, sorting

Mixture, combo

Array
