Click hereDid you see her coming
or did you just look past her,
through her?
Around perhaps?
She was there.
A diamond in the rough.
Yet you missed her didn’t you?
You didn’t see the beauty
hidden behind
frames of glass,
a frumpy sweater,
tattered jeans,
and sockless shoes.
You looked and saw
nothing.
So sad.
Your diamond
walked by you today
and you saw
only a stone.

Didn't say she was dirty or smelled bad just said her clothes were un attractive. Circumstances often dictate attire. I could tell you of circumstances that I was in that saw me looked down on. I had no control over those circumstance.
Intersting.... this poem is like another way of saying 'DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER' in a poitic way

he did not notice the diamond because the mud had yet to be weashed off.
How a person dresses speaks volumes, so does personal hygiene. I am sure I have missed out on a few diamonds because they were slobs.
I would rather wear silver than dirty gold--
beyond the personal observations, I just want to say that this poem is no where near the quality of what you usually submit. I have been accused of the same thing, many times.
Get to work, woman!! ;)
