Summer

Summer is almost over and school is starting. It's time to get this blog going!
I know most of you have not had much time to contribute to this blog, but now that your re-gaining you writing skills in school...


WE HAVE A CHALLENGE

 We want you to write a "DIAMANTE"  poem (listed below) about your Summer. I myself will write a poem (hopefully the other blog authors will too).

No prize, but your poem is on the Cloud Company.

A Diamante is a seven-lined contrast poem set up in a diamond shape. The first line begins with a noun/subject, and second line contains two adjectives that describe the beginning noun. The third line contains three words ending in -ing relating to the noun/subject. The forth line contains two words that describe the noun/subject and two that describe the closing synonym/antonym. If using an antonym for the ending, this is where the shift should occur. In the fifth line are three more -ing words describing the ending antonym/synonym, and the sixth are two more adjectives describing the ending antonym/synonym. The last line ends with the first noun's antonym or synonym.To make it a bit simpler, here is a diagram.
Line 1: Noun or subject
Line 2: Two Adjectives describing the first noun/subect
Line 3: Three -ing words describing the first noun/subect
Line 4: Four words: two about the first noun/subect, two about the antonym/synonym
Line 5: Three -ing words about the antonym/synonym
Line 6: Two adjectives describing the antonym/synonym
Line 7: Antonym/synonym for the subject

Now, get busy writing and send it in to me.  Include a favorite photo of your summer if you can.  You'll be published here on THE CLOUD CO. blog as soon as you send it!
