Diamante

A Diamante is a seven-lined contrast poem set up in a diamond shape. The first line begins with a noun/subject, and second line contains two adjectives that describe the beginning noun. The third line contains three words ending in -ing relating to the noun/subject. The forth line contains two words that describe the noun/subject and two that describe the closing synonym/antonym. If using an antonym for the ending, this is where the shift should occur. In the fifth line are three more -ing words describing the ending antonym/synonym, and the sixth are two more adjectives describing the ending antonym/synonym. The last line ends with the first noun's antonym or synonym. To make it a bit simpler, here is a diagram. Line 1: Noun or subjectLine 2: Two Adjectives describing the first noun/subectLine 3: Three -ing words describing the first noun/subectLine 4: Four words: two about the first noun/subect, two about the antonym/synonymLine 5: Three -ing words about the antonym/synonymLine 6: Two adjectives describing the antonym/synonymLine 7: Antonym/synonym for the subject GodDiamante God Good, loveLoving, understanding, compelling Great, glorious, wonderful, excellent Refreshing, rejuvenating, enlivening Powerful, merciful Lord Jesus Compassionate, beautiful Saving, Empowering, healing Wise, Victorious, incredible, magnificent Liberating, anointing, conquering Holy, righteous Shepherd.

Sorry, the formating here does not allow for the diamond shape to come out.
