A Diamante is a seven-lined contrast poem set up in a diamond shape. The formula for the poem is strict but, if followed, naturally makes the diamond shape take form.
The first line begins with a noun or subject, and the last line ends with the first noun's antonym or synonym. I like the idea of the contrast, so I plan to follow the antonym form of the poem.
The second line contains two adjectives that describe the beginning noun. The third line contains three words ending in -ing relating to the noun/subject.
The fourth line is where the poem begins to shift. It contains two words that describe the noun/subject and two that describe the closing antonym.
In the fifth line contains three more -ing words describing the ending antonym, and the sixth has two more adjectives describing the ending antonym. The last line ends with the first noun's antonym.
This poem was inspired especially by how my feet feel all winter until I get in my evening hot shower.

Cold
Winter, snow
Shivering, chattering, freezing
High heels at work, slippers at home
Toasting, sweating, heating
Socks, sweats
Warm
