I want to describe how White and clean the mist appeared for but half an hour
Newly wedded to the ground in
such a beautiful billowing cloud of a gown
Then twilight kidnapped her and she disappeared through the mud
Into the clay puddled earth

Good use of personification and clever construction. Lovely imagery: 'newly wedded to the ground' and 'Then twilight kidnapped her.' Sometimes such beautiful sights or events are elusive and slip through our hands before we can describe them for others. Excellent little poem! Well done.
Tku , My schooling’s was limited so I’m going to look up what personification means in relation to the poem !😀thank you for your feed back .
Yes that’s true , I suppose that is what poets are trying to do describe a moment or feeling in time before it skips away in the forever changing now !
Personification: the giving of human attributes to inanimate things. Eg, 'She (the mist) disappeared through the mud.' And 'newly wed to the ground' as if the mist was a woman who could be married.
Good write Willow.
You could have 'anthropomorphism' too - about the same meaning as 'personification'.
I only said that cos it's a long word, and I'm showing off! lol.
!! Impressive 😀
Thoughtful words W.T.
Personification and anthropomorphism great words if you are stuck for syllable count.
Beautiful imagery in your words willow.

how swift, ever-after plays out
in that dreary - bleak
of reality's: streaked cheeks...

thanks for sharing a wonderful read
