“Diamonds,” by Kathryn Stripling Byer takes place in a meadow after a rain. A man is giving a woman a leaf as a sign of his love and commitment in place of a ring because he can not afford one. Instead of a diamond ring on the woman’s finger, the woman licks “diamonds,” or rain drops off the leaf given to her. I really enjoyed this poem because it shows readers that love has no dollar sign. I admire the woman in the story and I believe the woman is Kathryn Stripling Byer.
