The Funeral Shroud of Atlantic Fog

There is something ghostlike when the fog rolls in like a death shroud from the sea...


when the fog rolls in on the rocky shores


along Nova Scotia’s barren beach of sand


it’s thick like old cold pea soup


 eerie when you can’t even see your hand


the lighthouses scream to stay away


to ships old Neptune wants to claim


unseen sea birds ghostly spirits


their haunting voices sound insane


lights on houses haloed yellow


where most people hide inside


wood fires crackle, snap and pop


it’s the safest place to hide


winds howl down from way up north


only stir the foggy soup around


god help the man lost in the woods


no way home will be found


mariners walk their quarter decks


radar blips are watched with hope


in search of land in the misty lost


to the creaking of wood and rope


aye ‘tis a foggy night on the Atlantic coast


where the ghosts of our ancestors dwell


like funeral shroud it steals the day,


as all time seems to stand still

Gorgeous images and an eerie story are protrayed through your verses, Felix. This is an excellent write, I could feel the heaving of a ship beneath my feet as I waited patiently for the fog to lift and guide my safely to land. I could smell the salt and feel the damp chill...you really did a great job! This is a write that the reader can really taste.
Take care,
Sherry

Great job of portraying fog and all it elicits depending on one's mood. I don't see fog of the sea but the river below me gets swallowed by fog quite often. Thanks for this, Felix. Love and peace to you. Regis

Felix, Felix, Felix, the title grabbed around the neck! THE FUNERAL SHROUD OF ATLANTIC FOG is really a beautiful poem full of atmosphere! The fog does make an eerie environment, but it is your style of word weave that gives THE FUNERAL SHROUD OF ATLANTIC FOG the atmosphere it has.

Fog has that ability to muffle and distort sound and scene. We have fog, very thick, dangerous fog often (I live on the Gulf coast of Florida) during the winters. I like playing in the fog, especially on a bright, full moon night. Try it sometime. Golf courses usually have wonderful THICK patches of fog and plenty of space to run around and laugh.

I truly relished THE FUNERAL SHROUD OF ATLANTIC FOG.

Felix, I gotta say I really love this one, I am putting this in my library for future reference...I have stood on a deck of a small boat off the NJ coast when just such a fog blew in, may not have the northern winds with it, but those Atlantic fogs can be the worst...Ed

I agree you just get a very uncomfortable feeling about fog and it is so mysterious.

Not only the Atlantic Fog. It is like that anytime there is fog. This is a very good description of what it is like to be closed in by fog, the eerie sounds and no vision. H.B. to you. Karen
