Diamanté poems often include a topic, and the antonym of the topic. The word ‘diamanté’ means diamond in Italian. It was created by a poet in 1969.  The poem is shaped like a diamond. The structure of the poem follows 7 lines. The first few lines of a diamanté is the topic. The first line is a noun (the topic), the second line is two describing words, the third line is 3 things it’s doing. The topic of a diamanté could be many things eg: night/day, fire/water, dark/light and much more. The fourth line is made up of four nouns (the fourth line is divided in half). My example is spring, the first 3 lines would be about spring, the fourth line would be about spring, but only half of it would be about spring. 2 nouns for spring, 2 lines for autumn (my other topic). The next three lines would we about autumn. 5th line is 3 verbs, 6th line is 2 describing words, and the last word would be 1 noun (the other topic word)

My Diamanté was about spring and autumn (I tried to form the word sapling as an acrostic but failed) (if you read my other blog you would know what acrostic poetry is)
