    Very good again, Michael. It seems you are turning these out at will at the moment and I am even yet to dabble! I shall however, believe me. There will come a day when you are not looking, when you least expect it and I shall pounce! (not on you, on the form you understand) Anyway...

    Take care

    This is fab! I love how you've taken such opposing forces (yes, I know that's the point of the diamante - but still...) of divine creation and evolution, and explored that in so few words and within this tricky style.

    I also love the title, and if it's intended how I've read it - then it's also very clever ...

    'splitting the apple' .... the forbidden fruit from the garden of Eden - the apple - being used instead of the word 'atom' to represent the splitting of the atom ... the epitome of scientific advancement. People will usually fall into one of these two camps ... with a few fence-sitters ... and it's therefore the perfect title for both a diamante poem, and specifically, a poem of these opposing beliefs.

    Brilliant and nominated (sorry it's so late!) :-) x
