Diamonte Poems by Edgar Aleman Perdomo

Ship

huge, beautiful,

comfortable, spacious,     

waves, overturning, jumping,

swimming, uncomfortable,  

ugly, small,

Lifeboat

Ocean

Unknown,

Gorgeous, oleaginous,

Scandalous, tremendous, dangerous,

Spectacular, fabulous,

Beauteous,

Land

Nature

peaceful, beautiful,

prosperous, interactive, unpredictable,

harmful, ignorant,

Man

(written in response to The Open Boat by Stephen Crane)
