Poetry Playtime!

Great site to create some amazingly fun poetry!

Check out this website for some extra help on creating a great diamante poem! Here are some ideas for opposites:
cat/dog
boy/girl
hamburger/Coke
pencil/paper
sandals/sneakers
king/queen
fire/ice
thunder/lightning
earth/sea
rose/thorn
love/hate
victory/defeat
peace/turmoil


Pattern to follow:

Line A: Topic A (must be a noun)
Line B: Two vivid adjectives that describe Topic A
Line C: Three interesting “-ing” action verbs that describe Topic A
Line D: Two concrete nouns about Topic A and two about Topic G
Line E: Three interesting “-ing” action verbs that describe Topic G
Line F: Two vivid adjectives that describe Topic G
Line G: Topic G (must be a noun)

Here’s another example:

Light
Clear, brilliant
Glowing, shining, revealing
Mirror, candle . . . Whisper, shadow
Deepening, sleeping, shrouding
Black, quiet
Darkness
