White Leather

They were wed in the coolness of springtime.
When in the shade, snow covered the ground.
Now lying alone twixt Durness and Talmine.
In a grave she lies, in a small seaside town
He crossed the moor, wearing white leather.
Wearing white leather cross the moor so they say.
He crossed the moor no matter the weather.
He crossed the moor on many fair day.

He wanted for her to lie in sweet heather.
But none could be found where she had to go.
She wanted for him to love her forever.
He loved her forever, none else did he know.
They buried him there, on a cool summer day.
In the same grave, in white leather he lay.

Changed from a quatrain to a Sonnet, by help
from Debra Guzzi.  Thanks Deb.

    Welcome to soup, I enjoyed your write very much. I love this I am a sucker for a good tale, I have read it 3 times..you know I think you'd be better off starting with verse 2, which sets the stage better. I love the repetition! maybe make verse 1 verse 3 & deleteing the repeated line you now have in verse 4 keep the last 2 lines & look at it as a sonnet? Just some thoughts? [I hope you will consider giving me 6 lines for my Contest..check out member contests] Light & Love
