    Wowee-- I tried one of these the other day, but gave up, I found it really hard. You made it look so easy though. You chose excellent wording for this! Loved it! Keep it up! 5/5

    Oh ! Timothy this poem just captures the eye and the heart . I love to read and study the different styles of witing P&Q has to offer . And this diamante is wonderful to read .
    I have tried to write a diamante (once) after I read one of Holly's and they are much harder to write than one would think .
    Yet you've creatd this diamante like a master .
    A beautiful talent shines through in this poetic masterpiece . Beautifully penned Timothy !
