Diamonds Poem by Aaron Jackson

Hello, Diamonds!
Long time, No see,
Just kidding,
Because I am engulfed in your sparkle.
That glistening, expensive, wonderful sparkle.


Some people tell me that I musn't spend
my money on silver and gold
But I work hard for every penny I earn
And who cares if I like the luxury
I like my shiny things, and leather things,
But my diamonds,
They are something else,
The Breakfast at Tiffany's epiphany of wealth,
Diamonds,
Always draped around my neck or
wrapped around my finger


My Diamonds have started to
replace the people around me
My ex-husband, for example,
I still have a nice shiny ring to show for it
But I don't mind these replacements,
because they never seem to let me down.
In fact, I love diamonds so much
I think I'm starting to become one.
