Mist

The mist rolled across the plains Creating partial vision It swirled grasping the countryside In the clutches of it's white hands It slid silently across the path Hiding everything in cotton ball white Squeezing until all vision was gone Claustrophobia then set in Slowly it dissipates as the sun amber rays shine down Lifting the veil of white Giving back sight. 10/12/16

wow, you really described so well this effect of nature. GREAT imagery and lines with the cotton ball and the "grasping" line. Wish I Had time to read more but I have to be off now. See you!

That's the kind of fog we get around here alright. So thick you can't see three feet ahead of you. I was inching along early one morning afraid of what I might run into and suddenly heard hoof beats. Then since I was only inching along in the car not even doing 5 miles hr. I felt the fender of the car gently nudge a deer and it leaped off the road and ran across the field. Great write. Well Done my friend. God Bless and a seven from me. JB

Hi Phyl I tried to send Soup Mail and tried email and neither one will accept my code. Don't know why. Just wanted to say my thoughts and prayers are with you. Remember it's important to stay positive. God brought me through my cancer and He will take care of you no matter what. God Bless, JB
