Miss Mist

Here she comes Miss Mist billowing in from the horizon.
She loves to linger there and bloom-
Building herself several petticoats gauzed
Grey enough to approach and droop herself
Across this lagooned town.

I feel her touch my skin with cold points.
A breeze swirls her here, then there...
She echoes the spaces she is not
Filtering sound and light at will.


There she goes bundling up her skirts
Gushing herself onto others somewhere.
Left here my fingertips trace her film of
Globules. She tastes of summer to me.

I remember walking across a meadow, through the mist on a bright bitterly cold winters morning, Suddenly the sun shone through and illuminated a multitude of silver diaphanous spiders webs. That mist had frozen in seconds transforming the very moisture hanging in the air. Isn't nature wonderful when you get up at the crack of dawn to fish through a hole in the ice.

This is beautiful! The title, the natural flow, use of language, and that awesome final line make it an instant fave. *Wow*

You've come to where I am, as very good poems do. We've had weeks of almost endless rain and cool weather and there isn't a river or stream or creek that hasn't risen beyond its uaual place. Last night about midnight one could see misty rain "approach and droop herself" on the fields and then the houses. I couldn't have written it nearly as well as you have, nor yet believe it "tastes of summer to me."

Yes, she's visited here a few times recently, bringing with her that same welcome flavor.

Like the line 'she echoes the spaces she is not.' Calm, quiet, misty verses that remind us what we like most about nature poetry.

A luscious piece, just brilliant, fog has now become attractive.
