This is the specific format that a writer would use for a diamonte poem:

2 describing words (adjectives)
3 action words (ing verbs)
2 nouns related to topic noun - 2 nouns related to ending noun
3 action words (ing verbs)

Remember: Your rubric for your poem stresses your incorporation of imagery and the poem's communication of why the book Night has its title.
