Diamante by *BryarRose:iconBryarRose:

woods
wasteful and lonesome
echoing, witnessing, surrounding
housing creatures of night
knowing, shrieking,  resounding
irksome and loud

Diamante

The first and last lines each consist of a one-word noun. The second and sixth lines are each made up of two adjectives and the third and fifth lines are made up of three gerunds. The fourth and middle line consists of four nouns. Conceptually, the poem is divided into two halves, with all the words in each half being related to the single noun at the beginning or end. The division point between these halves occurs between the second and third nouns in the middle line.

Another experimental form. Remember these are general guidelines. I didn't follow it exactly because I didn't want to; it is still a diamante.

Yeah. School assignment. It will probably have a different feel than ones I wrote from my own inspiration.

Well, it's supposed to be in the shape of a diamond, too. But for some reason I couldn't get it to work. I typed it in that way, but it was like this when I finished.

It looks left-aligned. You might get a closer to diamond look if you center the text instead.

That's what I tried to do. When I typed it into the box to submit it, it was in the shape of a diamond. But for some reason, DeviantArt shows it left aligned. I don't know why.

Does it recognize html tags? Maybe you could force it with font align=center or something?
