Option Three: Poetry
Let us not be too particular. It is better to have old second-hand diamonds than none at all.
~Mark Twain
Using the quotation above as your inspiration, write a poem (any form is fine) about second-hand diamonds.
~
Restless waters
~
Tumbling whirls of cloudy thoughts
Steady linear wings
~
Lights on restless waters
~
Folded wings
Grounded in earthy sands
Nonchalantly being
~
Trembling lights on restless waters
~
Feeling a sense of wings
A sense of trembling light on restless waters
Desperately being
~
Like second-hand diamonds
~
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

This is a beautiful but sad poem incorporating "Like Second-hand diamonds" wonderfully. I enjoyed reading it.
You've inspired me to check out what is happening at your writing cafe.
Second hand diamonds are still priceless. Like this view of the water reaching out to the horizon. gorgeous!
diamonds are forever
The waters don't look restless to me; they look peaceful and calm. Silvery photo, gray but a warm gray.
That photo is fabulous. And I like what you've done with the "second-hand diamonds" writing prompt.
