The Honey of a Fog

The Honey of a Fog

If you ever lived in Baghdad by
Bay, you would know 
That each night as the sun begins
to set,
The fog casts its sweet honey net
all over it.
With baptismal droplets, a true
sweet, love blanket.

The fog keeps things magically
cool, and add foghorns to this scenario.
The fog still remains, to this day,my
'Eternal Lothario'.
Alas, I have moved and by him no
longer fog honey-blessed.
But by that sensous Lothario, still divinely
possessed!

* Poem dedicated to Charles Messina..the idea for it jumped
out while commenting to him.Thanks, Charles!

* Bagdad by the Bay is a term
used for San Francisco.

Charles Messina Date: 8/13/2019 9:11:00 AM Panagiota, I'll never forget those foggy days that would faithfully come every morning. When I was 21 I spent a year in Ca. I've been to L.A. San Diego, Fresno and quite a few other places, but I've actually never made it to San Fran. I thought the fog only visited L.A. (lol) I am truly flattered and overly humbled my very kind and thoughtful friend. Sending love & hugs always. ~Charlie :) Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 8/13/2019 12:32:00 PM Charles, the fog in San Francisco, is like no other! I used to run in the fog in early mornings and see the fog, the hills and the Golden Gate Bridge all at once.like you, I lived in other cities in CA, too. Nothing is as awesome as that city.you deserved that dedication. Love, Panagiota

Vijay Pandit Date: 8/13/2019 7:06:00 AM I have visited there..loved the charming personality of the city..kudos for the tribute to both San Francisco and Charles. A beautiful glimpse of its charm in your poetic words, Panagiota. Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 8/13/2019 7:11:00 AM Oh, how nice of you to say all of this in your unique, poetic fashion! Glad you have been to SF. To live there, was a dream come true! I loved every minute of my years there. It's my Valentine City..Panagiota
