What is a antonym diamante poem?

An antonym diamante poem is a type of diamante poem that uses antonyms (words with opposite meanings) to create a word picture. Here's how it works:

Structure:

1. Line 1: A single noun, the first antonym.

2. Line 2: Two adjectives describing the first noun.

3. Line 3: Three participles (words ending in -ing) related to the first noun.

4. Line 4: Four nouns, with the first two relating to the first noun and the last two relating to the second noun.

5. Line 5: Three participles related to the second noun.

6. Line 6: Two adjectives describing the second noun.

7. Line 7: A single noun, the second antonym.

Example:

Hot

Fiery, intense

Burning, scorching, radiating

Heat, flame, ice, cold

Freezing, chilling, shrinking

Chilly, frigid

Cold

Here's how it works in the example:

* Lines 1 & 7: The antonyms "hot" and "cold" form the poem's foundation.

* Lines 2 & 6: Adjectives describe the qualities of each antonym (fiery, intense vs. chilly, frigid).

* Lines 3 & 5: Participles illustrate the actions associated with each antonym (burning, scorching, radiating vs. freezing, chilling, shrinking).

* Line 4: Nouns link the two opposites, creating a contrast (heat, flame vs. ice, cold).

Tips for Writing an Antonym Diamante:

* Choose antonyms that are concrete and easily visualized.

* Use vivid and descriptive language.

* Make the participles and nouns connect logically to the antonyms.

* Don't be afraid to get creative and have fun!
