Fog Poem // Carl Sandburg
The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

Fabulous famous poem!

I, too, haven’t read or heard that poem in many years. From 1979 to 1986 I lived near Asheville, North Carolina which is just a short drive from Hendersonville, NC and the Carl Sandburg home which you can tour, is nearby in Flat Rock, NC. The house is open and set up to look as it did when he lived there. His wife raised dairy goats and they are still there. In the days before selfies my husband and I had our picture taken with a great , friendly billy goat. Jim had a curly beard and they could have been brothers…ha, ha. And Jim liked that.
Sadly, not one cat was to be seen but they were probably tucked away in their favorite places.
I feel like we need to do a trip to the US now to visit that place.
Really like the picture. 🙂
Yes it’s one of my favourites. 🙂
Beautiful. x????
