Writing diagrams?

Especially diagrams of poetic topics or themes and of how to "Take apart" or "Combine such topics of themes"?
Such as web diagrams and the like?
I have made a few and im curious if anyone else has done so?

Topics and themes such as "Ambience", "Personification", "Rhyming", "Structure" and the like and how they are related in the form of web diagrams.
 
I’m not sure what you mean by web diagrams (and googling isn’t helping). Do you mean something like mind maps? And are these diagrams something used to develop a piece of writing or are they made after the piece is completed?

I'd love to see some of yours, just so that I understand the concept. Here in Xenforo, it's easy to insert photo files using your phone. It's even easier with a keyboard, where you can directly paste captured graphics with Ctrl-V.
 
I made one but it was rather difficult especially to mix complex writing topics together and relate them with lines
 
Are they related to the Jesuits' analytical or teaching diagrams?
 
As an example, I've done clustering in the style suggested by Gabriele L. Rico in the extremely long-winded book she wrote. It looks like this:

It's an exercise you can do before writing about a specific topic to loosen up thoughts and find natural connections between topics. It's often useful for poetry, I think.
 
Aw, I can see it. It looks interesting! You've found a few different ways to look at the idea of a shell or conch.

Does anyone like this diagram?
What other topics could I include in the diagram?
What do you want to use it for? I've only done this kind of thing in idea development, so my first thought is to expand the specific shell-related points with more depth to see what kind of images and emotions turn up. You wrote, "A sea shell on the sand" - how does it look? Does it look like it belongs there, just escaped from the sea, or like it was discarded? You also wrote, "Shelly the conch shell has a song..." - why does it sing? Who hears the song? What is the shell thinking?
