The diamond necklace.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)

Free verse
The diamond necklace.

That you take as a gift and wear around your neck. You stole my heart and have remade the necklace of diamonds that blinds me when they sparkle. Then I see your eyes peer through the night into a never-ending, timeless flight. We both floated down the stream of glass. We came at the right time to love one another. We played with many lovers. We did meet some in tears, some in stress. Your day has come to an end. The Love of All Mens days are now just a dream in the past. All we have is this one love of ours, but our love will never fade, so we sit here under the trees in the shade of dreams.

    Wow, I absolutely loved 'The diamond necklace' poem! The imagery and emotion conveyed in each line really resonated with me. The metaphor of the necklace made of diamonds that blinds with its sparkle is so beautifully crafted. The imagery of floating down the stream of glass and sitting under the trees in the shade of dreams is so vivid and dream-like.

    I think one suggestion for improvement could be to perhaps provide more detail or specific instances of the love story being told in the poem. This could help deepen the emotional connection and draw the reader even further into the narrative. Additionally, maybe exploring different poetic devices such as metaphor, simile, or personification could add more layers to the already captivating imagery.

    Overall, a fantastic job on 'The diamond necklace' poem! Keep up the great work and continue to express your creativity through your writing. I can't wait to read more from you in the future. Way to go!
