🌫️ Fog

About the Poem

📖 Poem Notes

Carl Sandburg — A very short poem (6 lines). The fog comes on little cat feet — sits on haunches, looks over harbour and city, then moves on. The fog is personified as a cat: silent, mysterious, independent, temporary. Imagist poem — simple image, profound atmosphere. The brevity itself creates the feeling of fog — it just appears and disappears.
