Morn’s foggy presence
Hiding life itself
Nature’s thick blanket
Covering herself
Damp, misty drizzle
Adding with each drop
Nature’s wet coating
Causing traffic stops
Time waits, suspended
Clouding over sky
Nature’s shy retreat
Blocking watchful eyes
Cool air presses in
Chilling every bone
Nature’s icy balm
Spreading frigid zone
Another hour hides
Leaving denser fog
Nature’s signature
Sleeping dialogue

The last couple of days have given this same effect to our landscape There’s something ominous and foreboding about fog. It creates the perfect backdrop for mystery. Great photos and poetry as usual.

Kathy, thanks for sharing. I agree that fog creates a perfect backdrop for mystery and more. Perhaps there is a story waiting to be uncovered when the fog lifts.

Lovely thoughts about your misty, moisty morning (Remember that nursery rhyme? Alas, that’s the only line that’s coming to MY mind. Seems like it was about meeting up with an old man on the road.) I do like the peace and coziness of fog–as long as I don’t have to drive in it!

I enjoy the mystery of fog as well. I’ve walked at a nearby nature park with the presence of a morning fog. It was wonderful!

Jim, I appreciate your kind words. I’ve been blessed with a few early morning walks in the fog, but the view from my window helped create this poem.
