The term "fog" is typically distinguished from the more generic term "cloud" in that fog is low-lying...wikipedia
A Wikem is a wikipedia poem. Also linking to Margo in fog-enshrouded Atlanta.
The earth is small.
A bleary shawl
Soft-wraps each croft and street
Where villagers shuffle
Through a gray-purple
Low-flung sheet
Morn's murky air
Shrouds a thoroughfare
That yesterday was loud
With proud pull and push
And the full-color rush
Of life's everyday crowd
Now, dawn is a dirge
Morn, noon, night merge
In slow-moving, solemn cortege
Where the low-lying knell
Of a cloud that fell
Covers bowed heads
Janet~
I love the image of fog as a fallen cloud in your poem, Janet.
ReplyDeletethank-you:) also for the idea and the nudge to Margo's place.
DeleteEven with 'Fog' you have painted a very 'clear' picture :)
ReplyDeleteI've been doing Wikems for years and didn't even know it.
I always link to inspirational posts and include info sites :)
Thanks for stopping by - Best of the New Year to you and yours.
Cool! Now they have a name:) Wishing you a blessed New Year as well.
DeleteWord sounds hold an endless fascination for me. It has always been my favourite technique, both to read and to use. I had great fun following your sounds and then had to go back to read the poem (laughing at self). Strong imagery. You placed me, very much, there.
