Author's Note:  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.
