Young Lady in a Boat

by Kat Meyer

The dark blue-green and gray of the gloomy lake and trees
gives the impression of clouds, holding rain brought from seas.
The boat itself looks dark, and the pug is a dark brown,
but what caught my eye the most was the young lady's white gown.

The flowers that sit on the boat look sad, with colors worn;
may have once been pretty, but now look forlorn.
Her face and hat look dark, her curly hair a reddish brown,
making a huge contrast to her gold and white gown.
