Diamond In the Roughage

Browsing, window shopping, foraging through flea markets, all favorite ventures, drawn like a magnet to those final clearance signs. Wallpaper Sale, this one announced. Double Roll - $1.00 - an irresistible bargain. The rolls stood on end in a large cardboard box, too numerous to measure. This mole started digging, searching for treasure. little did I know I was about to lose one Wearing a diamond ring, the special one, with nine marquee-cut diamonds marching smartly across my finger, the one it took me a year to pay for. One of those diamonds fell out of the ring, into that box, a box that stood as tall as my waist, a box that was packed with roll after roll of patterned paper. this was proving to be a costly bargain The rest of the story is unbelievable. With vigorous intent, this mole continued digging, and emerged with a sparkling reward!

Thanks, Ilene (beautiful name) for reading and commenting on my poem. Many of my poems are true stories. Two of them are constructed solely of song titles from a hymnal.
