Diamante Poem

In Hur 4 we have been learning about different types of poems. The one we have been learning about is a diamante poem. Diamante poems are were you get the name of someone or something and you put that word at the top. The next line you put two adjectives about that thing/person. The next line is three words and the words are going to be a verb. Then the next line is what that thing/person does. Before you do anything else you put for the last line something that's bad or the opposite of the first word/thing. Then go back to the other line and write three verbs. The last line is very obvious what you do. You write two objectives. We had to do one but about a story we read. Here's my diamante poem. The story was the Taniwha in the Rakaia gorge.

Taniwha

Clever, brave

Hard working, helping, splashing

Cleans the water for everyone to use

Blowing, whistling, howling

Rude, mean

Nor west wind/Te Maru
