Look at your list of opposite nouns and select the pair that you want to use for your poem. Decide which word will go in the first line and which will go in the last line. The word in the first line will be your first topic, or topic A.  For example, if you choose summer and winter, then you might decide to place summer in the first line. Or, if you opt for cats and dogs, then you could start with cats and end with dogs. Look at your list of adjectives and choose 2 that you want to use for the second line of the poem. Opt for the 2 adjectives that best describe the topic.  For example, if you started your poem with summer, then your adjectives might be warm and bright. If you started the poem with cat, then your adjectives might be stealthy and independent. The third line should include 3 verbs that describe topic A and that end with –ing. Place these in the third line of your poem.  For example, if your noun is summer, then you could use laughing, running, and playing as your verbs. If your noun is cats, then you might include the words hunting, sleeping, and purring. The fourth line of a diamante is the longest in the poem, but it still only has 4 words. You can choose 4 nouns that describe both topics, or you can list 2 words that describe topic A first, and then list 2 words that describe topic B.  For example, if you’re using summer and winter, you could list sun, clouds, holidays, and trees in your fourth line.  The first 2 nouns are more about summer whereas the second 2 nouns are more about winter. If you’re using cats and dogs for your diamante topic, then you could list whiskers, paws, ears, and toys. Next, choose 3 gerunds from the list you made that describe topic B. Arrange them in the fifth line in the same way that you did for topic A.  For example, if topic B is winter, then you might choose sledding, skiing, and hibernating. If your second topic is dogs, then you might choose barking, drooling, and fetching. The sixth line only has 2 adjectives in it and these should describe topic B. Select these from the list of adjectives you made for topic B.  For example, if topic B is winter, then you might use cold and dry. If your topic B is dogs, then you might choose loyal and protective. To conclude your diamante, all you have to do is write or type topic B. This should be the opposite of the noun you used for the first line of your poem.  For example, if topic A is summer, then you would conclude your poem with winter. If topic A is cats, then you would conclude your poem with dogs.
