Notes About The Poem

First appeared in IDEALS Magazine

Acres of Diamonds

The sun came up today, 
as usual,
but with a difference.

While we slept, 
rain changed to snow,
quarter-size flakes 
accruing on the wet earth.

Temperature dropped 
faster than snowflakes,
freezing the garage door shut.

Morning brought a crystal cloak,
to cover winter's drab face;
a blanket of jewels,
                winking in the sun.

A  priceless gift, 
from the Diamond Maker.
