Quote - Hi,

I like this format.  I used to write Pantoum poems which also dictate a certain order of lines.

Here is my first Diamante.

 

Dead End

 

Cancer

Deadly, horrendous

Tiring, overbearing, increasing

Disease, doctors, chemo, weakness

Living, hoping, praying

Wishful, hateful

Death

   

 

 

 

     This was powerful!! Definately great word choices. For those of who have dealt with CA.....myself included, not only does it hit close to home.. you've landed a bullseye. ~Michelle~
