Sudden Fog - Shadows In the Fog

Plötzlicher Nebel / Sudden Fog / Repentina niebla (Haiku) Plötzlich dichter Nebel Häuser verschwimmen in Schatten Nur Lichter von ferne A sudden dense fog And houses blurred in shadows Only lights in the distance Densa niebla repentina Casas en sombras borrosas Sólo luces en la distancia Schatten im Nebel / Shadows in the Fog / Sombras en la niebla (Haiku) Schatten im Nebel Vergehende Gestalten Grau wie die Häuser Shadows in the fog Only some passing figures Gray as the buildings Sombras en la niebla Sólo figuras que pasan Gris como los edificios Note: When I was walking in the streets to do some shopping yesterday evening there was a dense fog which inspired me to write these Haiku

I'm reading some of your older poems, Gert. Amazing stuff. This one is so atmospheric. I'm so glad you went shopping in the fog to get the inspiration for this gem : )

Two very beautiful haiku, Gert. Living on a peninsula, we have a lot of fog but it is usually at sunrise when the heat raises steam over the water. Excellent writing! Love, Carolyn
