The Early Morning Fog

Note about the poem:
Written, Agust,1 2026
For The Contest, “Eight By Eight" - Theme, "Fog"
Sponsor: Nette Onclaud.


The early morning fog thickened
as we climbed up the great mountain
one could barely see their own hand
but the air was pleasantly cool
The walk was slow for fear of pits,
snakes, scorpions, wild animals
After a while, we saw sunlight
beautiful thick fog was below

Jim Healey August 10, 2026 at 8:23 AM I live in a city that gets fog often, and you don't have to climb a mountain to be in the middle of it! Very good imagery here. Well done. Abdullah Alhemaidy August 10, 2026 at 9:53 AM Thank you :-) Have a nice time!

Andrea Dietrich August 6, 2026 at 1:49 AM One time I stood inside fog and then above it this way. It was at the Jesus statue in Rio. This reminded me of that. Congrats Abdullah Alhemaidy August 9, 2026 at 2:47 PM Thank you lovely poetess!
