Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

Fog

The eerie fog enshrouded all.
It conquered my vision,
with it's menacing creep.
It rolled in so dense,
so self contained.
My imagination, ran wildly
in this thick mist.
Just when, I though it abated
It consumed me again.
Gravitating me to the spot
move I could not.
Like a master of illusion
Things appeared and disappeared
from my sight.
Moving slowly, catching glimpses
as it opened a window for me.

Judy Ball July 20, 2011 at 10:32 AM Sounds like me trying to drive through an early morbing fog. Creep, creep, creep for fear of hitting something. God Bless, JB

Andrea Dietrich May 25, 2011 at 10:07 PM Eerie, just like that fog, Phyllis. Did you just encounter a foggy day? Sorry about your sore throat. What a bummer. Hope everything else is going ok?

Dr.Ram Mehta May 24, 2011 at 3:55 PM Nice take on the Fog, Phyllis

Carolyn Devonshire May 24, 2011 at 11:02 AM I like the air of mystery in the mist of fog, Phyllis. Especially love the last line because it's so hard to drive through fog. Have you ever read Carl Sandburg's poem "Fog"? Enjoyed your poem! Love, Carolyn (BTW - it appears this poem was posted three times -- probably when you were getting error messages from the Soup. They're so frustrating!)

Cj Krieger May 23, 2011 at 2:40 PM Very nicely written, although I felt (at the very end) that it was not complete... but I liked it!
