Diamante

[Afolabi JaySmile]

My first diamante poem.
Hope you comprehend and enjoy this poem.

Love
Kind, faultless
Satisfying , caring, fighting
Family, relations, heartbreakers, naggers
Abhorring , shunning, envying
bitterful, murderous
Hatred

This is a new form for me. I had to look up the "rules" of the form. I think I may have to play with this so thank you for sharing.

As they say, there is a thin line between love and hate. I like how moved from one to the other.

Very interesting! Like Christina I too was unfamiliar with this form. Thank you for enlightening me to the form and for sharing your poem. (Also, welcome to the Online Book Club.)
