Tenacles

A heavy fog grasps each plant
Its tenacles wrap around
Laden with moisture it leaves damp
Creeps and crawls without a sound

A golden sun peeks through gray clouds
Exposes thick silver fog
Rises slowly higher in sky
Silent the rain tree frog  

Which presence will win the scene
The fog rising from the creek?
Condensation from the cool rain
Or the sun which slowly peeks?

Wonderful imagery and a great ending! ...On those foggy days, I always wonder if it will ever clear away... This was beautifully penned, Sara!

What a thought-provoking, well-structured poem. I am drawn to the wonderful painting of a situation. As if that were not enough engagement, the question at the end of the poem affords the reader an opportunity to come up with his or her own conclusion.
