Challenge #21: Diamonds are a Poet's Best Friend

[Fluffy]

Diamonds are a Poet's Best Friend​

lolol Forgive my lame title, I couldn't resist.​

Come up with 2 synonyms of your choosing, or a synonym and an antonym. These will be necessary for the poetry style I'm about to tell you guys about. Should you need some ideas, here are a few I can offer. Feel free to use them in your poem:

Synonyms:
- Angry & Mad
- Empty & Hollow
- Happy & Glad
- Idea & Thought
- Quiet & Calm
- Lucky & Fortunate

Antonyms:
- Birth & Death
- Pass & Fail
- Laugh & Cry
- Lost & Found
- Old & Young
- Wild & Tame

Now to copypaste the instructions for how to write a Diamante from Shadow Poetry because it's easier than rewording them:

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/subject
Line 3: Three -ing words describing the first noun/subject
Line 4: Four words: two about the first noun/subject, 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

^ There you have it, everyone. 7 lines, no demands for syllable counts as far as I can see. I look forward to seeing what my challenge watchers will come up with. And here are a couple examples from the same site:
