Nice subject choice. These two extremes are what we have all been through, it shows we are alive. Great piece. All the best with the diamante poem contest.

A very well & written diamante poem. Good describing words and the format followed as described. I think you should cutout thec 'and' in the second last line.

All the best in the contest.

A great example of a Diamante poem with the transition from tiredness to liveliness and I am wondering if it should be the other way around! Liveliness to tiredness, but that's just me feeling tired after being lively! A great entry, I wish you luck,love Dolly x

Good work on your Diamante contest entry, Anonymous Poet
You seemed to have met all of the requirements spelled out in your rather lengthy yet informative authors notes.
Your poem is most definitely in the shape of a diamond, and along with following the laundry list of other rules, You've managed to use words diametrically opposed in meaning for your antonym.
Good luck to you.
~Dean

Dear Mystery Writer,

It's funny, but I think we have all been at both extremes of your diamante poem, so this should be one that most people can relate to. *smile*

Note:
1.) In your description, you say"
--> A dominate poem see foot note.
--> but it's 'diamante'

Thanks and good luck!
