Mask
Hiding
Residing
Past or present
Or are they colliding
Creating turmoil and dissent
Stirring up trouble to misrepresent
Learning and wisdom have the power to unmask
Pride and prejudice that block our ascent
Chances for us to reinvent
The past ever guiding
Masses consent
Dividing
Biding
Bask

The Diatelle is a fun, syllable counting form like the etheree with a twist. The syllable structure of
the diatelle is as follows: 1/2/3/4/6/8/10/12/10/8/6/4/3/2/1, but unlike an ethere, has a set rhyme
pattern of abbcbccaccbcbba. This poetry form may be written on any subject matter and looks
best center aligned in a diamond shape.
