Phyllis Babcock Poet Personification

Fog In the Night

In the misty shadows of winter
on the edge of darkness 
snow gathered silently
a hush settled over the land
warmer temperatures produced fog
eerily it slowly crept forward
wrapping and winding itself
creating a warm blanket
making all invisible to sight
thick with moisture it grabbed
it's fingers wound around
pulling covers over the land
like a snug weighted blanket
it refused to throw off the covers
making sure all was down for the night.

Jennifer Proxenos December 16, 2020 at 2:48 AM You make it sound warm though it was freezing, but maybe that is what nature wants in Winter a Winter blanket - look at the Igloos how cozy they can be? Hugs and blessings Phyllis. Jennifer. Phyllis Babcock December 16, 2020 at 9:34 AM It is considered warm when it is less than -10C and freezing. It has been a mild winter so far and I am thankful for that as you can go outside and enjoy nature. Have a wonderful day. love phyl
