Tuesday is the day for a prompt from Margo Roby. Today she asked for a poem inspired by the fog she awoke to this morning. When her prompt also contained the option to write a found poem from the information in the Wikipedia entry “Fog,” I decided to work on that as my smallstone for today. This may look like an especially small smallstone, but it took surprisingly more time and effort than I thought it would.
near the Earth’s surface
a transparent mistiness
vapor condenses

Two days of this mistiness and now a skift of snow… winter, bah!
Love the brevity and conciseness of this.
Oh, yes. This works. I love the idea of trying for a specific form from a page. Hard work but satisfying when you have it.
Satisfying indeed and I know just what you mean about the small small stones…sometimes they take much longer than they look like they do…this works well…I love the imagery of this misty blanketed earth. 🙂
It brings me that wistful quality of mist.
I like the rhyme there, Bethany in “wist(ful)” and “mist.” Thanks for stopping by. I hope you’ll be writing more now that you’ve fixed up your computer.
