Task 2: Examine the structure of a Diamente Poem by reading the information below.
A diamante poem (also known as a diamond poem) is a seven-line poem that forms the shape of a diamond. Instead of sentences, diamante poems are made with individual nouns, adjectives and verbs, and can either describe two similar topics or two opposite topics. Diamante poems do not have to rhyme.
Below is the correct layout for a diamante poem:
Noun
adjective, adjective
verb, verb, verb
noun, noun, noun, noun
verb, verb, verb

Noun
A Noun is a person, place, thing or idea. Example: Abe Lincoln
