I am deeply appreciative of your placement in spite of my mistakes! This was such a fun contest. Had a ball composing this poem! So happy your liked my efforts.

Hi Kim! Thank you so much for your congratulations and your bumblebee song! At the time this poem was written, we had been experiencing a cold, windy, foggy summer. Seemed to be perfect for a July poem! Sending you blessings of bumblebee song!

Thank you so much my friend. When thinking about fog I can't help but think of Sandburg's poem that I so love! Had fun creating the images. It seems to me the Etheree format has an intrinsic elegant quality about it as the syllables expand over the lines - like fog rolling in! Hadn't thought about that until your lovely feedback got me to thinking! So grateful for your feedback and congratulations! Hugs and blessings!

Hi Anne-Lise! I agree there is an enigmatic quality about the mysteriousness of fog. We have had a very cool, windy and foggy summer with lots of opportunities to think about this weather phenomenon as it rolls in from the ocean! Thank you for your note of congratulations. So grateful! Blessings and hugs! Here's to some warm summer weather!

Hi John! Thank you so much R&R Bro! So far we have a had a cold, windy, foggy summer - June AND July gloom listening to the foghorns at night! Have spent many a summer morning this summer watching this curiosity called fog roll over the hills and through the skies! Fog is, just as you say "mysterious" and "mystical" It just seemed to call for a poem that highlighted these qualities - qualities in life that you so well understand! Your lovely note brought a smile to this face. So happy and so grateful. Summer blessings on the beach to you dear friend!

Dear Brandy! I so appreciate your lovely note of congratulations and couldn't agree with you more about the mystical magic of fog. While it can be mesmerizing there can be an eeriness about it!! I wanted to show that in this poem! Thank you so much for affirming my efforts!! Hope you are well. Sending you blessings of clear skies and warm days dear friend!!

Thank you so much dear friend! Enjoyed getting re-acquainted with this poetic form as it emerged out of the fog and mists of my memory! Seemed to be a perfect vehicle for a poem about fog building on a summer night! Sending you prayers for the success of the book and prayers of gratitude for the work you put into making it happen. Blessings!!

Thank you so much for your wonderful note of congratulations Michael! A blessings and a gift! Blessings of clear skies and warm summer days to you!

Thank you so much Michelle! So appreciated. This POTD is such a delightful surprise - through the mists like a foggy NW night! Blessings!

Greetings my friend! So grateful for your note of congratulations! The POTD is such an honor. I love your use of the word "captivating" for that is my experience of watching fog slide over the hills from the ocean as it continuously shapes and re-shapes itself. Your lovely feedback affirms my efforts. Thank you dear friend. Sending you blessings of clear skies and warm summer days!!

Hi Darlene! Love your observation about people seeming to float in the fog! Truly an eye-catching and mystical experience. Thank you for your lovely note! Have a good week! Hugs and blessings!

Hi Tom! Thank you so much for your gracious note of congratulations! The Etheree is a fun form. And the POTD is an amazing honor. Truly a wonderful surprise! Maybe our clan history of living on the coast of Scotland added to the inspiration for this poem. Hmm! Hope you are having a good summer with clear skies and warm weather. Over Fork Over!!

Hi Kim! Thank you so much for your congratulations and sweet note - like a clearing in the fog! It was such fun to write about our "misty" summer. Now I'm ready for some sunshine and warm, clear days! Blessings!

Thank you so much Belle! Fog can be an amazing, mystical experience especially if you don't have to drive in it! I am making an assumption here but with you living in England I am guessing you are intimately acquainted with this weather phenomenon. So grateful for your note of congratulations! Blessings of warm weather and clear skies to you!!

Hi Paige! What a wonderful compliment to know that this poem inspired you to try your hand at the etheree poetic form. Can't wait to read your creation. Thank you for your reads and for your gracious note of congratulations! Blessings to you!

Hi Jim! Was such fun creating the images to match our recent misty summer mornings as the fog rolled in! Thank you so much for your gracious compliments! And, yes, even in summer we hear those foghorn rhapsodies! All the best! Blessings!
