Tuesday Writing Prompt, 8/4

foggy night

BENEATH

The fog creeps in beneath the surface of the night

Leaving a chill that can bring on a fright

As the moon shines high with its blue eerie light

It keeps you inside in fear of what might

The sound of the stream rushing at its low height

Running through the quiet valley as though to take flight

The sound of the owls as they beckon for a fight

Keeps us inside beneath the surface of the night.

Today’s prompt: Beneath the surface of the night

And as always, I close with encouragement to spread kindness in all you do. It helps the world be a better place.

What Do You See? Prompt

A chilling picture in this week’s “What do you see?” prompt, so I thought I would chime in if this is right.

The block path was wet from the fog that hung heavily in the air as I walked slowly toward the caretakers cottage. The older tomb stones were hidden in the dark foreboding shadows as though waiting for the next stones to be erected…

The Quiet of Fog

Some think fog eerie but it is it’s peace that I feel

It shrouds all things that it touches, making it look unreal

The early morning fog comes but usually burns by noon

The evening fog can enter and bring on a sense of doom

I prefer the daytime fog brought on by changing seasons

It’s calmness gives off a quietness for no apparent reason

When fog comes in surrounding the branch as it glistens

Nature seems to come to a stop and watch fast while it listens

Beauty in life can be read in nature from where ever you stand

As the peace of fog moves quietly over the surface of land

Remember in all that you do to share the kindness that has been shown to you. And if you feel kindness has not been shown then be the first to spread it around and be kind.
