A Diamond In the Rough
It is the spirit that so graciously gives us peace and keeps us inspired and optimistic during this amazing life. Let no one talk down to you or degrade you which in many cases, cuts like a knife. Where malace, envy and hatred abide, make a concerted effort to bring forth and inject love. Where there is pain...

I Found You
I found you, alone, over looked, ignored. I could see the potential, the beauty, A diamond in the rough, Your face was streaked with dirt and marred. ‘Twas clear this would not be easy. Smiling, I cleaned you best I could, Analyzed your every side, Took you home with me, Work began, as I knew it would, After many long hours, I sighed. Bright and...

I write for the diamonds, all quartz to be damned The populace deafened, and jaded demand That anything selfish, their wills to be pawned My jewels though not many —sparkle beyond (The New Room: February, 2021)...

Fascination is peering into a dazzling diamond shining like chrome Imagining what the finished product will turn out to be, In what sort of golden setting the stone will likely find a home Whether the precious jewel might someday accompany me, Or be sealed away in a museum under an imposing glass dome.

Premium Member She Was a Ruby In the Rough

Internally, an earth angel. Her outside edges were sharp and off-putting. She had prickly points. Many never got acquainted. Shunning her because of her unusual face. She had been through a bad fire. Fear...
