Notes About The Poem

Image result for pictures of a jet plane flying low in fog I have written another stanza but since for Craig's contest, I can't post it. 

Acoustic Shadows in Early Morn

As the fog rises from the creek
     And dampness permeates
A truck speedily emerges
     Shocking mind's concentrates

Out on the porch in this dense fog
     Surrounded in moisture
Nature's voices silent apparently
     This quiet annoys her

One more truck emerges from the fog
     Then a muffled high-pitched
Sound, like a tire with a small leak
     I looked around then switched

Through the heavy fog faintly see
     Jet plane flying too low
I thought my hearing was about gone
    To my eyes a long blow

Then totally out of my thoughts
     I realize the fog caused
The plane to fly low and the sound
     High pitched that brought my pause

It was a ride home. To my past where there was fog and mist. It seemed as if it were written for me. a picture of my past. But living there .... I miss it and this was a good reminder.

Oh! Wow! John. I hope it brought back happy memories for you or happy thoughts at least. Sometimes in our lives when we look back, we see that we were actually walking around in a fog thinking we knew it all, but now know that God was there in the mist in control protecting us all along. We think we are smart and know it all but God is there guiding our paths into the unknown. Sara K

A fine write with good imagery. I could see a woman standing on her porch, cup of coffee in hand looking out at the fog in a country type setting, Someplace I want to be. God Bless, JB
