Reflections behind the mask in the mirror ~ Honorable Meniton in Picky Poetry Contest ~
a diamond in the rough

chubby cheeks pulse crimson red with crocodile tears -
a diamond in the rough

specks of brown gold freckles frame a visage bright with hope -
a diamond in the rough

random white-tipped craters erupt with volcanic force -
a diamond in the rough

eyelids framed by dragonfly wings; furrows stiple brow -
a diamond in the rough

sun and wind etched lines, mark north and south, then east and west -
a diamond in the rough

gravity gains strength, pulls flesh from sinew and from bone -
a diamond in the rough

portrait sketched, then drawn anew, by fickle hand of time –
a diamond in the rough

geode – hiding, yet reflecting, every tide of life -
a diamond in the rough

see me - my eyes that still hold fast their fire - yes, they spark –
a diamond in the rough
