A diamante poem I wrote as an example for my kids. Thought I'd share.

  2. I like it - the symmetry which is lovely to look at as well as to think about and the fact that 'laboratory' comes in the middle. I don't think the Canadian school kids of my acquaintance would relate to 'punishing prison' or even 'factory'. What do you guys think? What did the Korean kids think? gm
