I really like this rhyming poem a lot and I have noticed a few modifications. I think they made it better like you are putting the "coat" in the end. I'm glad you are entering the contest.
Exceptionally done and you will win.

The mysteriousness of possibility of being caught out in these conditions would be a little perplexing and spark the poetic inspiration fo this fabulous poem is possibly the catalyst for the great imagery that's wonderfully projected in this poem, well done Melissa, blessings Roy

Comment from MissMerri
Having walked the gray streets of Pacific Grove, shrouded in the "damp, tendril fingers" of Monterey fog, I've felt those "shivers shudder 'neath my skin" but never would I have been able to describe the sensation so vividly and so melodically as you have here. This is so beautiful and SO relatable, Melissa. But the most moving words were in the final verse... "And, as I walk this road alone
enrobed in fog's sheer gown of gray,
my isolation feels complete
entombed within the twilight spray."
Wow! I love this entire poem and feel certain it will be a winner in this contest. So creative, so original, so vividly descriptive. Meter and rhymes are spot on. It is perfect in every way.

Hi Adonna. Thank you, dear friend, for the lovely words. I am glad you enjoyed the imagery in this one... it seemed so drab, so the words had to pack a punch. LOL. Thanks again.

Masterfully done. It is an unforgettable poem.
Comment from Janice Canerdy
Your poem is very creatively and skillfully written and vividly descriptive
of an eerie, spine-prickling scenario that makes me think Jack the Ripper might be lurking about. Expressive, excellent piece

Haha... yes, I thought of old Jack too, but didn't want to add that level of fear into this... more of a sensation of being out in the fog and alone... that's creepy enough... at least for me. LOL. Thanks so much, Janice.

Comment from Mrs. KT
Lovely, Melissa!
Today, we, too, experienced bouts of fog = remnants of an ice storm.
I love how the rhythm and rhyme are not forced, and the images are so sublime, I feel as if I am on that road with you!
Thank you for sharing!
Best Wishes!

Excellent entry for the Rhyming Poetry Contest. The wintery imagery is outstanding. Nice alliteration. The rhymes do not seem forced and your poem flows well. It draws upon emotions and it presents strong images.

As always your poetry is elegantly composed and beautifully structured. Your strong word choice and use of alliteration create an eerie atmosphere. Fog does have a way of closing one off and muffling sounds. A weird sensation.
Interesting that both of us posted poems on a similar theme today. Fanstory telepathy in action!
Best of luck in the contest, Melissa
Stay safe and blessed

Comment from Juliette Chamberlain
I love how you enshrine the atmosphere that fog creates.
You are so right, it creates a world where we are isolated because of limited vision.
The poem is elegant with great rhythm and rhyme.
The assonance of streets, silent, shades in the first verse.
Likewise, spin, small, shivers and shudder in verse two.
Particularly like, 'enrobed in fog''s sheer gown of gray.'
Warmly,
Juliette

Reminded me of a Poe work, and something I wrote fifty years ago. If I can find it I'll forward. Congratulations on the growth you speak of in your bio. Four years and you write very well.

On your profile page .. on the left.. is a classroom tab. Follow it. The teacher is Jim who goes by Pantygynt. We are just now finishing up a class on how to write in meter. He plans to hold another class in June on writing foreign poetry forms. You can message him for more info.

I like the personification of the mists crawling and the tendrils grasping. Also like the metaphor of the fog's sheer gown of gray, and your alliteration. Good meter and rhymes as well. Nicely written. Best wishes in the contest. Carol
