Notes About The Poem

- Fog Talk -

The fog
                                    sensed
                                    in a dumb
                                    lament song
                                    The silence
                                    pulsating in the air
                                    Rubbing his back
                                    toward the hill edge

                                    When the colors
                                    disappears quietly
                                    Loses the grip
                                    The anxiety that drills
                                    into the chest
                                    Heavy to move on
                                     - to look in
                                    in its own downfall
                                    ... acknowledge the feeling

Jan Allison September 17, 2021 at 3:42 PM fog brings a sense of foreboding its quite scary when it wraps itself around its surroundings like a demonic cloak:-( excellent ink:-) hugs Jan xx

Pratap Roy September 17, 2021 at 5:30 AM Nicely captured the scene. Loved the flow. God bless you.

Delice Arleen Skelly September 17, 2021 at 4:40 AM There is something quite horrendous being caught in a thick fog. Decades ago I landed in a pea-souper. To this day I do not know how I got home. Totally disoriented.. Great poem...Delice

Mystic Rose Rose September 16, 2021 at 3:35 AM I think its always best to acknowledge the feeling rather then run away from it. You are so wise dear friend, may you have a blessed day, be good :)

Vijay Pandit September 15, 2021 at 2:04 PM You captured the melancholy so well, Anne-Lise.

Tom Cunningham September 15, 2021 at 12:10 PM Your sense of direction goes haywire and it can be frightening if you're driving. Tom Anne-Lise Andresen September 15, 2021 at 12:15 PM - No one should drive in thick fog, Tom ... really dangerous - Thank you very much for your comments :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Ilene Bauer September 15, 2021 at 12:07 PM You’ve described this so well, Anne-Lise! Fog always adds a feeling of spookiness to the landscape… Anne-Lise Andresen September 15, 2021 at 12:13 PM - A feeling of blindness and trapped ... heavy to breathe ... - Thank you very much for your comments, Ilene :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

James Marshall Goff September 15, 2021 at 11:54 AM Hi Anne Lise, your artful poem, as usual, allows the reader to personally absorb, my favorite poetry...I allegorically interpret this myself as sunlit days decrease in duration here in Minnesota, clouds gloom over the horizon (tho it's wonderfully sunny t'day!) l tend to get a bit depressed, (knowing ice & cold are coming) & purposely use tools I've learned to snap out of it, like reaching out to friends, small acts of kindness, acceptance, myself & others... forgiveness, I could go on! james Anne-Lise Andresen September 15, 2021 at 12:10 PM - A bit sad when the leaves on the trees begin to fade - We know that summer is over - Many people get depressed when autumn sets in, James ... we have the dark time ahead of us - Thank you very much for your comments :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Darlene De Beaulieu September 15, 2021 at 11:30 AM Hello Sunshine Smile, When my husband was alive, We went for a drive quickly the fog came, we did not knw if we were on a road or grassy path. the fog was thick. Hugs. Darlene De Beaulieu September 16, 2021 at 10:32 AM Hello Sunshine Smile, yes it is not only about the fog in the air. Hugs Darlene Anne-Lise Andresen September 15, 2021 at 11:43 AM - We quickly lose direction in thick fog, Darlene ... I feel trapped - Thank you very much for your comments :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Victor Buhagiar September 15, 2021 at 11:05 AM I was in a fog once and I was afraid as I was driving on a high hill. I drove very slowly. You capture the idea of a fog very well. Anne-Lise Andresen September 15, 2021 at 11:28 AM - A nasty feeling, Victor - Thank you very much for your comments :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
