A Diamante poem is a seven-line poem that has an inverted pyramid shape, with the first and last lines presenting opposite concepts. The words in each line follow specific rules to move from one opposite concept to the other through descriptive and action words. Examples are provided of Diamante poems about winter/summer and cat/dog to demonstrate the form and how it emphasizes a transition between opposites.
