Here is an insert from my story which is Through the Mists of Times. 

His hair the colour of an Acorn,  touched with  threads of grey 

And his dancing eyes were blue, story  as the Atlantic Sea 

And she waited by the Alder tree,   a slender form, skin the colour of ivory 

Her unbound hair a fox’s tail, and eyes the pale leaves of the Birch, 

As she waited for her love. 

He steered his dapple grey mare  

As he sensed danger ahead, and with a heavy heart  

  he sidestepped Into the hidden path in the cliff face and was soon lost to sightc 

With a heavy heart he turned his mare  

With a sack of sated whiting in his bags, to sort out for those in need.  

A dangerous trade, a lonely path,              

But she was gone, lost to his embrace. 

Heather McGill shouted out the words , ”I can’t marry him and I won’t,’  to her mother who stood with a rolling pin in one hand and the other, placed on a piece of pastry she was cutting out.  As her mother’s  ample mouth and eyes widened in disbelief  at her refusal, the tension rose  like steam  she could feel it oozing out about her and the shame she felt for talking to her mother in such a disrespectful way, was even more upsetting. Her heart beat fast and she felt the pain weighing her down.
