I think you describe the feeling of loneliness really well in this piece, particularly with the feeling of being removed from space and time I thought that was particularly haunting and well written. I really enjoyed reading your piece. Good luck in the contest.

When my legs worked properly, I loved walking the wooded hills just outside my town. We are perched right on the coast, so the sea air can bring in just the sort of fog you describe, lacing the hills with mystery and solitude.
Your poem resonated within me. Thank you,

The sweet, carefree days of childhood have passed, and now, as adults, we often find ourselves lost and troubled in a sea of fog, not knowing how we will find the light again. We pray for the "light" and the hand to bring us out of the darkness. We are never alone because He is always there.
Smiles, Carol

Your words perfectly describe the image you have included. I can remember times, going for runs in the dense fog, when I have felt invisible, hidden within the vapor.

I get the "loneliness" and "solitude" in this situation. And you end well with the longing for "illumination" - perhaps the sun to cut through the fog.

The only thing I got hung up on was "compassion less". It is one word, not two, and I kept wanting to read it as "less deep longing" because it was separated from compassion.

Just a thought.

Good luck in the contest - this is a super presentation.

Hi DonandVicki,

This is wonderful. You followed the 3-6-9 format to a tee and nothing felt contrived or mechanical. You are an artisan with words. Also the misty photo to accompany presents your lovely poem as well, an altogether beautiful combo.
Good luck to you :-)

It would be easy to feel that you were the only one, in such dense fog, but me, I would be hoping I was, as I find fog creepy. You brought in the feeling of loneliness and solitude well in this foggy presentation. Nicely done, and good luck in the contest.
cheers

Some people enjoy the fog, I do not. I much prefer sunshiny days and crystal clear nights. It is not that I fear the dark. It is true that I do not trust things I cannot see enough to be comfortable in a fog.

This is a good entry for the 3-6-9 Poetry contest. Your storytelling goes very well with the graphic you have chosen. The third line of your second stanza does a really good job with alliteration. Your poem is well written, and I wish you the best luck in the contest.
Robert.

Your three lines pack a powerful punch with that final line as the fog can give us "feelings of invisibility". The only change I would suggest is two more stanzas to meet the contest requirements.

This is an excellent short poem in form 3-6-9. I love the the mood and of the poem, the imagery chosen to compliment the words and I like that it has a sense of mystery about it. Well done and good luck with the contest.
Best wishes
Nicki
