What am I?

[Pamela]

Um, how "shouldn't" it be in Writing and Roleplaying? It's part of poetry, look at the structure. OMG, tell me you aren't serious, wait, don't answer that.

Yes I am serious,because ALL text is writing...I will grant you it was delivered in a more poetic format,but it WAS still a riddle.Not poetry or a writing you found or created,just a riddle.

I can vaguely see leather in that but the description fits many other things as well.

It was Leather guys, leather.

Ok, here is an easier one.

Once I was water, full of scaly fish;
But, by a new decision, Fate has changed
My nature: having suffered fiery pangs,
I now gleam white, like ashes or bright snow.

What am I?

Salt.....and this is flowery as well but still a riddle.

I know you write stories and poems,what I am wondering is why you never post any.
