That being said, this month's assignment is a poem in the Diamante form:
For some reason the subject of "nakedness" has been coming up frequently for me so I wrote with that in mind. I was inspired by a devotional put out from "At God's Table" titled "Praying Naked". Feel free to comment and let me know what you think! Better yet, comment and then go to the Pensieve's site, read the instructions, and come up with your own Diamante!subject
two adjectives describing the subject
three words ending in “ing” telling about the subject
four words, first two describe subject, last two describe its opposite
three words ending in “ing” telling about the opposite
two adjectives describing the opposite
opposite
naked
raw, exposed
telling, uncovering, freeing!
self recognition, concealed unworthiness
running, hiding, obscuring
caged, shackled
masked

Nice subject matter... well done to be sure!
woohooo! I love this one! Great Job!
Jim! Great Job!
Glad you're in the mix!
Amazing! Thanks.
Thanks all! I really appreciate the encouragement.
Jim,
How much do I love that you're "completely hooked"?? A lot a lot :). BUT...I think you're hooked because deep inside you've got a poet's heart as evidenced by your Diamante this month.
It's good--very, very.
Figurative nakedness caught me off guard; the natural opposite is (of course) "clothed". How liberating to throw off those things that bind and enslave, though.
Great word choices--this is a poem with a lot of "feel" to it.
Thank you :).
