A GIRLS BEST FRIEND

a lump of coal at the tip of south africa

suffered the heat and pressure of a million years

to rest on your finger or to dance on your necklace or tiara

sparkling with the blinding light of God's perfection

mastering art of refraction and reflection

this jeweler's object of affection

this kaliedoscope of love

this steely rock

is a real

gem


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Perfectly centered in the middle of the page, the shape of this poem is a perfect diamond. Oh well,... you get the general idea.
