I'd enjoy seeing any Diamante poems that you all can come up with. If you'd like to email them to me, kwahaddi@gmail.com , I'd be happy to include your Diamante poem (with your name) to this post.

Fun, isn't it? I've written a few, but not for a while. I may have to give it another go.
This is wonderful! You are a truly talented man and never cease to continue to amaze me with all of your gifts.
Neat!! The only kinda poetry I can write-is where I have specific instructions! I'm going to give this a try. Thanks for detailing it!
It does look hard...I tend to write free verse so I won't have any real restrictions. :-) Could use some fences to stay inside! Will have to give it a try.
