Black Gown Quatern

she wore her black gown with such aplomb proud and alone followed to the tomb sad though she was to lose her man can she cope on her own, yes she can the grey graveyard ,with an open tomb she wore her black gown with such aplomb lifting her head all could perceive the tears falling as she stood to leave her eyes misted tears starting to fall remembering when love conquered all she wore her black gown with such aplomb she gave a last look at the tomb friends became lovers as time progressed loyal to the grave their love confessed as they gathered and wept around the tomb she wore her black gown with such aplomb. penned 28 January 2016

Seren, Congrats in my contest. I had to check the pronunciation of aplomb, which americans say as aplum. So I guess overseas it is aploom sound. Anyway, I really liked it. I think if at the beginning of this poem, you would mention the "friend," it would be better when you bring up the friends become lovers part at the end.
