Somewhere Shines A Diamond Comments

Valerie, I so love reading your poetry, wonderful.

This is beautiful. Way to go!

This is beautiful. Good job!

Awesome... beautifully crafted... imagery is nice...

The title instantly drew me in and every word afterward had me hooked, there are so many beautiful things in this world that sometimes they are more beautiful because they have not been touched or found. This was a stellar read

Everyone has a treasure to search, a diamond. You made me think of mine, my potential, what I have been meant to, why I am here. Maybe to share something. I am still seeking and I think so do you. thank you. ilaria

A great write yet again Val :)

Beautiful Val, as always, you bring the true beauty of what you describe in your poems through your words. You are perfect in your choice of words, and the flow is also perfect. Thank you for yet another 'gem' of a poem.

Keep searching Val, I`m sure treasure will shine through for you, a wonderful write as always.

all these precious items may be hidden in the earth or in the mind, but they have to be nurtured to see the beauty of it! without such polishing the diamond or the gold will be left unattended..so we have to bring out from the heart, mind and soul to see the beauty by practicing! Nice poem! Thank you for sharing!

They shine through in this poem well written and beautiful. Enjoyed the read outstanding Val.

an elderly gent with first name lynn wrote a short poem recently entitled 'a glint of gold' i believe. much different than yours but you might enjoy it. it has a WW2 theme. also his poem 'an abyss of....something '....i can't recall the title exactly.....is quite deep....has to do with defining what it means to have faith (in God) i believe.

i think i read this a day or two ago, but perhaps not carefully. today i reread it and find it very entertaining and thought-provoking. is grey stone your brain? wish i could read some poet notes from you on this. but it stands well without them. sometimes it is good to allow the reader to have her/his own interpretation i suppose, without the hindrance of poet notes.

This is a beautiful write Val [3 I always enjoy your work and visit often x

very inspiring, well crafted and rhythmic and meaningful... wonderful poem. i want to say here- - twilight on face antecedents shine of love, vitreous of luster on a crystal as diamond, the dark of the darkness beget the diamond, dark defuses and alchemize, the black- grinned caliginous to illumine as a small table lamp glimmer glee with the end of darkness. -

The sweetness, melody, and musicality of your poem are also a gem shining throughout the whole thread. Love it! May that ray of hope illuminate your path everyday!

I liked. that one especially. It was even better when came the stanza last & also penultimate.

Great poem..................... P : O)

Excellent poem Valerie. I must have read this poem twenty times and just loved it. Tyvm.
