I can certainly say one thing about your Diamante contest entry, Anonymous.
It covers both ends of the spectrum where matters of the heart, passion, and love are concerned.
It's oft been said that there is a fine line between love and hate.
That line can be found at the bottom of a divorce decree document.
Best wishes to you in the contest.

    Lol. Yeah, that is a fine line. But matters of the heart don't seem to recognize lines, until it's too late! Thanks for the review.

    Oh, I dunno.
    Battle lines are often drawn, sometimes without either party knowing it.
    Have a grrrrrrrrrreat week :)

Well written diamante poem on fire and ice. Excellent choice of words and artwork. I don't see anything that needs to be corrected. Great job! Good luck in the contest.

A nicely done Diamante about an existential theme that everyone can relate to. All subjects have two sides, and the Diamante does well to show this - yours especially. (Can double as an antonym poem, too!) Good luck in the contest.

A very well-written diamante poem. Good description words. To my knowkedge it should only be the third and fifth lines that use the -ing words. I an not sure if it will be acceptable for the contest.

This describes both opposites well. It also shows how they are intertwined and need each other. All the gerands give action and emotion to the poem.

Good luck in the contest.

Keep writing

I've not checked for technicalities, which I'm sure are correct, I enjoyed this, love the shape, funny how shapes can enhance a poem. Good subtle alliteration and great choice of adjectives. MaggieF
