Writing Poetry
There are 6 steps to creative composition i.e. Plan, Draft, Review, Edit Checklist, Present, Publish.
Plan.
Know what you want to write about. You don’t necessarily need a title, but you need an idea.
Have a bank of words or phrases you may wish to draw on.
Maybe use a diagram with ideas branching from a central theme.
Realise that you probably might not get right first time.
Decide who the poem is for; an individual or a specific group, or maybe just for yourself.

Diamonds
The idea is to create a poem the format of which will resemble a diamond.
It may, though not necessarily, start with a short introductory phrase followed by a single word.
It will become wider in the middle.
Then it will taper to a final single word at the end.
As with all poetry this is a guideline and you can amend or restructure as you feel appropriate.
