A Lady In a Red Dress

Her Red coloured dress resembled
a Venetian house
which lay besides the gondola
in an unrealized dream
as the Gondola retreated
through the hazy eyes of the canal
the house kept on getting bigger
painting one part of the lake 
with a mixed coating of 
the red
and the green accumulated piece
of the ubiquitous waters
but still red was the colour
green was the envy

she was herself
with the poets
while a poet
let one more dream die

Was the dress either Titian or Venetian Red I wonder. You too are an artistic poet but in a realistic way. I have been accused of being an artistic poet in other ways. May the power of the pen and poem continue to march on. Jim Horn
