Wonderfully done; you captured such a fantastic atmosphere! It creates a sense of urgency in the reader to walk through the area as quickly as they possibly could and the picture only highlights the eerie feelings that this poem gives off.

Oh, I just LOVE this!!!
My type of weather, walk, atmosphere!
I wish I lived somewhere like that!
This is such a pretty poem.
I like all your descriptive words, and
the lovely sense of lonely.
Just beautiful.

Hello Judy, thank you for your wonderful thoughts on this misty, gloomy poem. I had fun with it. We are supposed to get a rainy day here in Chester tomorrow, I guess you will too. Thanks again.

Comment from Father Flaps
Hi Melissa,
Very nice! A terrific entry for the Rhyming poetry contest!
You know, it's like a flash moment in time. I see a senryu in here.
enshrouding mists crawl
shivers shudder 'neath my skin
entombed in fog's gown
You have some nice
***********************************
I like the alliteration in your poem,
"shivers shudder"
and,
"gown of gray"
I also like the personification,
"mists begin to crawl"
"Damp, tendril fingers grasp at me"
"fog's sheer gown of gray"
You've done a great job of describing an evil presence in the misty fog of twilight. You can't see it, but you can feel it surrounding you, defeating you, petrifying you. By the time you get home, you'll be a mess... if you get home, that is. Our mind can play tricks on us... if we let it.
This poem is for the senses. It reminded me of a mysterious poem by Walter de la Mare...

Melissa, I find the world where you do wander a bit strange. :) For a minute I thought that Edger was going to let the raven loose. I like the way you spin your yard and trap the reader in your web. :) This is a very good entry for the Rhyming Poetry Contest.

Hi Jose. Yes, I spun a creepy web to trap you in as the misty fingers reach out to grab and prod. Hahaha... you have me going. Thanks so much for your wonderful review.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
I love your image choice, Melissa. Your words are super, too. The rhymes are perfect, the words create great imagery, and the message is clear how the one in the poem feels about himself/herself based on the word isolation.
Best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan

Hi Jan... thanks so very much for your wonderful review. Yes, the isolation is the theme... but I had to throw in a little bit of creepy too. LOL

The picture you painted in well chosen words was so clear that I found the poem outstanding. Your imagery was wonderful, as were you meter and rhyme. I wish you luck in the contest.--Hope others agree with me.
