Mist
A gentle fog has settled down,
To pause, and wait, and sit around.
The softest gray is still and silent,
Only sound is muffled, quiet.
But whispering wind starts to billow and blow,
Whisking away the slowly swirling mist,
And clouds now part for the whistling flow,
The fog has vanished, swishing, hiss.
About this poem
In this poem I tried to capture the softness of the mist and then the wind whipping through it.
