Did 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.

perhaps

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!! ;)
