A diamante is a seven-line poem that takes the shape of a diamond. It begins with a noun, followed by adjectives, gerunds, and ends with a contrasting noun. The structure creates a visual representation of the two opposing ideas or themes. Each line of a diamante has a specific purpose: the first line introduces the first noun, the second line includes two adjectives describing it, and so on. The final line presents a contrasting noun, making it a creative way to explore differences, such as love and hate or day and night.
