This was pulled off so well because it something we know every day, we know how easy it is for love and hate to change and I have to say I think that message fitted this form perfectly. It showed how quickly it turns, and the adjectives used just shows what true opposites these really are.

Well done.

Nicely done! I love seeing forms like this and the diamante is fun to read. I like how profoundly you expressed the whole synonym/antonym. I can clearly see this love being respect whereas hatred turns a person away, and turns into resentment and as you wrote, often revenge.

Take care!

The contrast in this is just wonderful, how the two concepts bleed into each other. The structure is very interesting as well, I don't think I've ever seen a diamante poem before!

One small gripe- affection, devotion, abhorrence and scorn are all abstract nouns, not adjectives.

Aside from that, a great write, one that shows the powerful conflict and possibly change between two of the strongest emotions :)

Contrast goes oh so well, we all know what it is like to be in love and how it takes work. I like how you started it with Love and ended it with Hate..It really describes a relationship in a whole.
