lonely evening walk
water vapor condenses
evening clouds of thought


Oh, how I love foggy nights
Last night before turning in, I glanced out of the bedroom window
and there it was....that mysterious atmosphere
 light and fog mingling like a magic show
If it hadn't been so late I might have put on my shoes and walked in it
enter a world often ignored or feared
I remember being afraid of it when I was small
expecting Dracula or the werewolf or Frankenstein
to appear
And it can be horrific to drive in it....just think about the horror in Florida this past week

But have you ever walked a city street
 surrounded by it?
It has an exciting still quiet about it

I could walk for miles

  1. Fog does have a serenity about it. Suz, this haiku is especially good! You have a natural ability to say, not just so much, but just the right sentiments in few words. This piece is one of my favorites!

  3. It's like noticing a harvest moon
    precious precious moments of enlightenment
    compression is the gold of poetry

  4. Beautiful Suz, for me it is a bit surreal walking in the fog, although it is years since I have done so as they never seem to have it here in Tenerife

    1. Ha ha...they don't have fog on your island?
      but I bet Scotland does! It is a marvelous experience isn't it?
      next time I will put on my shoes and walk around...
