            Read this diamond poem.

                                                               clouds,
                                                             soft, white,

                                                          slipping, sliding,

                                                   floating wind, water, light,
                                                      rain falling, splashing,

                                                          dancing bright,

                                                               blue sky





            There are some rules we should follow while writing a diamond poem.

            Line 1.  :  a one-word noun

            Line 2.  :  two adjectives that describe the noun in Line 1

            Line 3.  :  three verbs that this noun does

            Line 4.  :  four things (nouns) that the nouns in Lines 1 and 7 have in common

            Line 5.  :  three verbs that go with the noun in Line 7

            Line 6.  :  two adjectives that describe the noun in Line 7

            Line 7.  :  a one-word noun that is in some way opposite to the noun in Line 1.


            Now write down your poem describing something like a tree, an animal, the
            weather or a season.
