Coal,
compressed,
tested, stressed,
yields its concealed
beauty under protest.
A diamond heart, at last unsealed,
its softness transformed, its true strength revealed.
Life's adversity challenges us for control.
It leaves helpless feelings, no key to wield
against self-sold shackles well sealed
until deep in our chest
we find a shield
for our quest:
our blest
soul.
Form: Diatelle The Diatelle is a fun, syllable counting form like the etheree with a twist. The syllable structure of the diatelle is as follows: 1/2/3/4/6/8/10/12/10/8/6/4/3/2/1, but unlike an ethere, has a set rhyme pattern of abbcbccaccbcbba. This poetry form may be written on any subject matter and looks best center aligned in a diamond shape.
