I really like it. Very good rhythm and rhyme. My only complaint is that I want more. It seems to end abruptly, and it could be so much better with a more solid ending.

    Thanks for dropping by to read and share your sentiments. I didn't want to bore anyone by going on and on - it could get really repititive! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Maybe I should write part II someday!

This Kyrielle, using the metaphor of a "diamond in the rough," tells of the value hidden inside a less than shiny exterior. It pays honor to someone who is more interested in substance than show. Very nicely done.

This sort of man is worth having - a no-nonsense man, straight to the point, honest, loyal... your poem captures his attributes well. Her diamond in the rough is now a shining example of togetherness, like your poem is a shining example of the kyrielle form.

    Thank you! These days where we can get lab created gems - it's important we know the difference between a reasonable facsimile and the real deal. That applies to people as well!

    Exactly. Frauds are everywhere.

Hello :)
I really enjoyed your kyrielle.
It flows well with an even meter and your repeat line fits smoothly into each stanza.
Well written and presented.
Good luck in the contest.
Best wishes, Debra :)
