Ocean Fog

The ocean fog spreads, An opaque, eerie veil. It wraps the town in mystery, And murmurs secrets to the gale. The sea crashes on the shore, Rumbling a detached sound. The foghorn hollers somberly, As the hazy clouds surround. The seagulls fly effortlessly Showing the mastery over the blur. They float in the foggy air And disappear in motionless hover. The blanket of the ocean fog, An elongated, powerful silence. It lingers in the mind's eye, And fires a poetical movement.

Dear Smita, I adore the soft yet potent envelop of fog and its atmospheric effect, especially at night. Your poem's beautiful imagery is captivating. I especially enjoyed "It wraps the town in mystery,/And murmurs secrets to the gale" - stunning! Your imagery portrays the fog, the shore and the gulls with poetic finesse and brings my imagination into the center of the town wrapped in "ocean fog". Simply splendid! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
