Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Not bad!.!.!.but your third lines should be participle (-ing verbs), so the first poem's third line should be "hating, discriminating, afllicting"!.!.!.the same holds true for line 5!. Your third poem does it correctly for lines 3 and 5, but fails to use nouns for line 4!. Your words are well chosen!.!.!.just go back and make them comply with the rules:
1 noun
2 Adjectives
3 Participles (-ing verbs)
4 Nouns
3 Participles (-ing verbs)
2 Adjectives
1 noun
You're on the right track!.!.!.just a little editing required, that's all!.

I have never read the Diamante style before!. I have written lines of words, sort of like this, but never considered them poetry!. It was more of a practice ritual to build a better vocab!. I bet you have done the same thing when writing these poems (built a better vocab that is)!. Even though I have not heard of this style, or ever critiqued such a consignment of words, I would think that these words are meaningful, and presented to assent;) each other!.
This word agreement reminds me of Freud's word association therapy, which I have always thought of as sophisticated, complex, and fun!. Those are the same feelings I went through while reading your fabulous schemes!.
Even though I have no knowledge of other poems like these, I declare you've done a great job!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
