    I really like how you wrote this diamante as I usually see these done more with two different elements or something in nature but the way you did it is very interesting. The emotions you put into this adjectives, nouns, and descriptions are in the first part sad, perhaps bitter, and lastly sorrowful. The second part is more hopeful and filled with admiration and love and respect for this other person. I can see this poem written from maybe someone who used to mean something to you but then they did something terribly wrong and lost all your respect and then someone else came in and saved you from the sadness of this other person. Just reading into it a little bit. ;]

    But I really do love this poem and you did a great job with this form. I have tried this once and I have to say you much better than me. I look fordward to reading more of your work. Great job and keep writing!!
