The Fog Was So Thick I Could Hardly See The Trees

Thank you Frederick for the awesome photo that inspired this quirky poem

Please check out my friend Frederick’s awesome photos and poems on the RB

The Fog Was So Thick I Could Hardly See The Trees
The air was very still there was not even a breeze
It looked as though I was standing in some magical land
I pictured that I was a drum major marching in a band
As we would march toward the trees the fog started to lift
We would march so slowly since marching bands are not quick
I would be so proud in my uniform of gold and blue
Performing for everyone and especially for you
You would look at me with a smile so bright and kind
I would know that you thought that I looked mighty fine
But as I awakened from my dream to reality
I realized the fog had lifted and there was only me

    Silvia, Thank you so much…I had been looking at this photo for a
    time and wanting to write some romantic sonnet..but there was
    only one poem coming through and I finally decided that this was
    the poem I had to write….Sally xxoo

    Imagination a wonderful trait, so well presented picture and words, As adults we tend to lose touch with this wonderful tool we have all been given.
    Thank You Sally

  • Sally Omar replied

    Thank you so much…this was very strange..when Fred first posted
    his picture..I thought this is something that can be so romantic
    but all I could see was a marching band..and I went back to this
    photo so many times..but it was the only picture in my head and
    I decided to go with it…Thank you again..Sally xxoo

    Wonderful, Sally. Unexpected but brilliant all the same xxx

  • Sally Omar replied

    Fred, When I sat down to write it..I was planning on something
    so completely different and I started to type and all of a sudden
    it was a marching band…I thought it was going to be a romantic
    scene…but my mind has a mind of it’s own (did that make any
    sense?) Love & Hugs, Sally xxoo
