The Mountains Call: Another Fulton Bryant Poem

A Truly Spectacular Place

In immensely dark caves,

Over lightly shaded gray clouds,

With amazing spooky waters in the background,

Winter cools the earth

From highly held cliffs,

Beneath steeply carved peaks,

Around undiscovered corners

I hear the mountains calling me. 

--Fulton Bryant, grade 6

Fulton Bryant's Diamante

A diamante is a seven line poem, shaped like a diamond. It is a poem of oppositions which works toward the middle. In Biblical prose a similar structure is called chiastic.  

Diamante

Start

Fast, Fresh

Running, Driving, Racing

Alpha, Stamina, Sweat, Omega

Coming, Tiring, Cramping

Slow, Breathless

Finish
