Each year, between the months of September and March, at a small secluded cove in the town of Taiji, countless of innocent and helpless dolphins are brutally slaughtered in an annual hunting massacre. Most of the Japanese population does not even know this horrible event is occurring. This has been going on for over four hundred years and it is finally time to come together and put an end to this devastation. Read on for more.

It was smeared alike to the last picture Greg “ruined”. It looked like there was a little girl and a little boy in the picture, holding hands. But the girl was harshly scratched out after it was “drawn”. A word, fainted and hard to really read, was smeared on the boy.

Chapter two of “32-Minute Nightmare”.

I didn’t have any time to visit the art center today, so I drove past it and headed to a shortcut in the forest preserve to get to Geraldine’s. Through the wood and thicket, I was slightly surprised I was even able to keep driving.
Suddenly, a familiar figure walked onto the pass. I hit the brakes hard and stopped 3 inches away from running him over.

It is more notably a specific type of poem called a diamante poem. In order to form a diamante, you need to follow the exact structure of one. Beginning with a noun and over the process adding on verbs, as well as adjectives. About half way through, a diamante poem switches its course and opposes all of the beginning words with antonyms.
