Beautifully written, Michael. But she does sound a little bit stuck up. Or maybe that is just her British side? :-)

A woman of dignity has surely dignified the words written.

FOG
Laura🌻 said:
Michael,
The title reminded me of Carl Sandburg’s poem, “Fog”. A required read in school!
Remembering his while reading yours, I see similarities and differences! Both excellent writes! Enjoyed the read!

FOG
BRIAN & ANGELA said:
THANKS ANDY ~ As you know the real pea soup fogs of the 19th (Orchi will remember those !) and the 20th C have largely been abated ! What I love are the MISTS you get in Snowdonia ~ Scotland (Scottish Mist !) and the Lake District ~ if you are on the Hills you have to be guided by the ubiquitous CAIRNS ! It is only when you are in a FOG or a MIST that you fully appreciate BROTHER SUN ! Love the wording of the poem very KEATSIAN ! Yours BRIAN

FOG
Lorna said:
Well Michael I have seen every Sherlock Holmes movie and Jack the Ripper and they are always moving through the \"Impenetrable fog\"........ it\'s actually amazing that it was reversed! It must have been a bit frightening! Oh and loved the verse!

Beautiful writing again, Michael. Makes me remember the foggy days in November in Zuerich. Don\'t have much fog here in Hawaii. Sometimes just a little bit hanging in the valleys in early morning.

Don\'t believe everything you hear, it might pain you.....as perceived by the one who lives along a remote, but not so responsive shore.

You got the title wrong mate, this should be called dusks kitchen. We use a smoke alarm as an oven timer.

A fine write M.Never knew there was so much in fog! Maybe because I could not SEE anything in the fog! heehee.
You see me? *reaches to shelf for dictionary* And who is Chorus Kate? lol.

How often we pick up the signals missed by those involved who may be blinded by their love and devotion. Hope i read this convoluted tale correctly. Very subtle.

I keep on fighting for my breath and you keep on walking! Looks like we both had the same thing in mind, but you said it more beautifully and eloquently. Well penned, Michael!

TRUE HISTORY
FredPeyer said:
Oh, I agree so much with you here, Michael. If we look at documented history, we only see a very small slice of what happened, and since history is written by the winners, we cannot be sure it is not distorted. Maybe the history pieced together by archaeologists is the \'true\' history.
Well written and thought provoking poem!

You deceived me, I was going in for a sad read about love, and I came out with the corners of my mouth wrapped around the top of my head!

I love your use of colors in the pic but I adore you landscapes! Nighttime can go so many ways - scary or romantic or mystical...... it depends on how we crank our minds doesn\'t it!

BRIAN & ANGELA said:
Thanks MIKE ~ I was born under a wandering star but have to settle as an \"Essex Boy\" for the next few years In essence all visual ART is abstract because it is \"absracted from reality\" Some of course is further removed from reality than other. I like CUBISM because you never completely lose sight of the \"subject\". Thanks for highlighting visual Art. Love the Poem ~ it provides thought for food ! Yours Abstractedly BRIAN

Great imagery and super write on what beliefs do to the psyche. The picture I put a question mark by - -I guess I love your water-colour villages too much.
