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! August 13, 2019 * 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.

Sunshine Smile, I love your name. Just the sweetest thing! No, no trolls in SF fog. Just magical beings I suspect. -)). SF will forever be my love. I actually found me, while living there. Each day was glorious. Hugs, Panagiota xx

Ahh, nette! You know what I mean! I used to live in the Marina area. Thought I died and went to heaven. Those fresh flower carts, the smell of roasting coffee beans! Wonderful? Cable cars? Never had enough of them! Have you been to a DimSum in Chinatown?What fun.loved the boutiques in Cow Hollow.thanks, nette~ Panagiota

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 :)

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

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.

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
