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
