The diamond

That’s really beautiful Shoe!
It should be set to music it would make a lovely song.

yes, you should be singing this very late, in a nightclub somewhere

mmm, in a slinky silk gown draped over a piano, cigarrette holder artfully trailing from my heavily jewelled fingers, looking out through black thick eyelashes, only spoiled by my comlete inability to hold (oe even recognise) a note...at least the dark would disguise my wrinkles!!

your words are as beautiful as ever, shoe. We all need to carry a hug in our pockets :--)

Shoe, I see you are channelling your inner Lauren Bacall, and that's exactly what I meant

Watch out for Bogeys then shoe :O)

Beautiful poem, Shoe! Love the last lines ;)

oh, thank you all so much, will try to hit the right keys with this message,:~}}}}}}

shoe in a silk gown, I'm all of a flutter. I presume you were referring, of course, to the wrinkles in said gown xx :--)

silver tongued charmer you!!!

"You’re the hug tucked in my pocket
That goes everywhere with me"

I like that line especially, it's very sweet.

I really enjoyed this poem, if it's for someone special inparticular, they are very lucky!!! :) x

Don't tell 'em it was for me shoe, keep it as our secret xx

Shhh...xxx
