Thank you for reminding us how quickly one's mood can be changed and demonstrating it with these opposites in your word choices and your photograph, which looks like an oil painting! Cheers- Joan

Thank you Joan. Hadn't thought about it that way.
Comment from Pantygynt
Together with the word type requirement and the antonym synonym it is the overall shape that is impoertant. This is not syllabic like many that have a shape aspect. In many cases the shape is forgotten or ignored in forms syuch as nonet of etheree, which is a pity.

Thank you Jim. I totally agree. I keep arguing with people who write a sloppy looking Nonet or Ethreree that the point of stair-stepped syllables is to create a pleasing shape. They typically respond that "it's not in the rules." I always respond that it should be understood.

Actually it is I that agrees with you. It was from you that I learnt about these forms when I first joined this site. I am following your lead on this one.
The other day when I mentioned this to a member ze reposted achieving the shape by varying the font size on the different lines. Makes one want to give up.
Comment from Bill Pinder
That seems like a difficult style to write. You did a good job with the contrast and the expressive words. I like that you included a picture of your wife,

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written diamante poem about a sad condition that changes to a happy ending. When the smallest things can make us joyous and happy, we know we are still on the right track.

Comment from TheStoryMan
I really enjoyed this poem. I like how it goes from sad to happy...just like a person can from just a kind word. Thank you again for your author notes...I like how you explain the poetic forms.

I enjoyed it all: the poem, the illustration, and the explanation with a diagram. Your wife looks quite happy in the photo. Your notes are very informative. Thank you for sharing!

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
This is a great diamante, Treischel. I enjoyed reading it. Good job on its style. Your author notes are informative. I like to think you changed the mood of the one in your picture (great picture) by your interest in taking it. It probably changed from plain like no one cares to ecstatic that someone is spending some time with me--even if just taking a picture. Thanks for sharing. Jan

Mood swings like this are not unusual among young children. You could be describing my granddaughter only any given day. Or my moods because of the recent erratic swing in weather patterns. Rod

Comment from Kathleen S.
It's perfect. It's what anyone that feels lonely or depressed needs to hear. Great job and writing it down in such a clever way. I love the way you have expressed yourself here.
