Diamante Poem

                            Life
                     vibrant, free
         enjoying, flourishing, sparkling
                Time is running out
         ticking, haunting, frightening
               certain, inescapable
                          Death

I am quite satisfied with this poem. I think the topic of Life & Death works well with the strict symmetrical order of the poem.

I tried to change the second to last line, because I think “inescapable” is too long a word and does not really fit the flow, but as yet I couldn’t think of something better… So any suggestions are welcome ;-)
