The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches and then moves on.
"Fog" by Carl Sandburg is a free verse poem about fog. This poem is comparing fog to a cat making the poem an extended metaphor. Comparing the fog to a cat is also an example of personification saying that the fog covers the harbor and city like a cat pouncing on its prey. This poem is imagery because I can imagine the fog throughout the city. I like this poem because it is simple, but can be taken a few different ways.
