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.
