POEM STARTER

Submitted by Maranda Quinn

Write a story or poem which could be titled ‘Diamond in the Rough’.

What themes might this phrase bring to mind?

Yours, XO

They say that pressure turns coal into diamonds

If that’s true then why’d you tell me to leave

Didn’t you know I’d go out and buy us a boat

Sail it using your name

So come back to me, my precious lover

Don’t let your heart stop your throat from calling my name

Let me be your diamond in the rough

These green eyes won’t ever appear the same

For whatever your heart desires I will give it to you

We’ll sail around the ocean

until the world questions what we’re up to

Tell me what kind of thoughts run through your head

Are they argumentative or crazy at best

Because I’d like to know, it’s kind of sort of a test

But if I pass it please let me treasure you so that I may rest
