. A thick white fog Hangs among The leafless branches Of the not yet spring trees Even with Their headlights on Cars like lost ghosts Pass each other On the road The morning sky Is gray with cloud There are no colors Not muted by a shroud As if the world Were on its way To an annual memorial Uncertain of its mood . |

John, That explains this time of year. I'd get rid of the inversion in the second strophe. Bobby |

I am particularly fond of the ending: "There are no colors Not muted by a shroud As if the world Were on its way To an annual memorial Uncertain of its mood" applause!! |

Nice ending, John...uncertainty prevails, especially in a fogbank. |
