My colored World

Behind a veil of mist, the trees
Are shadows, barely seen.
There is no hint to let you know
That they are really green.
The hill they're on, has disappeared.
Likewise the road beyond,
That leads you through a meadowland
Up to a tranquil pond.
At times, it thins and I can see
More country that I know,
But then it thickens, blots it out.
I wish that it would go.
I feel oppressed by swirls of white
Against my windowpane.
I long for sunshine to restore
My colored world, again!

I know the feeling.  Fog really changes one's preception of the world.  We are having lovely weather and wonderful sunny holidays.  Love, Joyce

Dear Betty Lou

The clouds roll in so low here on the 'Tableland' in North Queensland that it takes on the same misty view which you have versed so well here in your poem.  Of course, we have been getting early frost now and the fog takes on that same eerie view.

Love Verbena xo

Dear Joyce:

Thanks for your message. I feel really restless when it is foggy. Fortunately we do not have many days like that!

We too, are having some nice weather now.

Aw, knowing the beauty is just out of sight makes the scene new all over again.
Thanks, for the view, Melton

Though foggy days are not a favorite of mine, I still find them rather fascinating!

Thanks.

Trillium, it would be such a delight, if only the sunshine would come to stay. And, would you believe it has turned off cold, today. And, I already turned my furnace off. Wish mother nature would make up her mind.

Oklahoma Rose:

Thanks for reading. I am in North Idaho and though the days are pretty nice now, my furnace is still coming on at night. It is quite chilly then.
