    Marlon this reminded me of the movie Blood Diamond, not sure if you heard of it. Love the form. Have to tell you, your comment really meant a lot today I sometimes feel I put too much of my emotions in my writes. But then again thats where most of them come from. Your comment made me realise just to embrace it ;) thank you for that. Hugs from a cold Cape Town

    I like your shape poem and all the things you have said about diamonds. To me they are like roses - overrated. But some like them.
