Writer Wednesday ~ Fog Haiku

Inspired by Carl Sandburg's poem I posted about yesterday and the fog that we saw last week around my school, a haiku for you...

wisps of white obscure

what's far from sight; insulates;

an intimate world

I love the feeling you get in fog--a private fantastical world that moves with you as you walk, the real world just outside of your foggy sphere.  

Teacher Tuesday ~ Fog

It's been delightfully foggy in the mornings near the school where I teach and the third and fourth graders are learning about fog, so what's a girl to do except make a slideshow for some of her favorite kids?

Fog ~ Carl Sandburg

The fog comes

on little cat feet.

It sits looking over harbor

and city

on silent haunches                                                           © Doug Blair

and then

moves on.
