Winter's Fog


The fog rode in
on the back of winter's cold,
piercing with its icy chill
any warmth it could find.
Disfiguring all in its path
with an enveloping blur.
Monochrome reigned.
Stealing color
as it rolled over the countryside.
Feathers fluffed.
Hair on ends.
Heat - a precious commodity
with frozen fog ravaging the land.

Fog is beautiful if over the water and not having to travel through it.

I'm cold just from reading this. No wonder I want to move south when I retire.

This is beautiful. I love the mystery of fog. I wrote a poem some time ago about fog.

This was really good. Thank you.
