In Recovery

I went out to walk my dog,
Through the swirling cream-soup fog.
Never mind that I could not see,
My furry pup next to me.
Blind, we strolled along by feel,
From my fall I hope to heal.

    I didn't "see" your ending coming, Bridget! What a fun topic to wander a poem through!

    Thanks, Tabatha! I was hoping it wasn't to foggy to follow. =)

      Yes, that would not be a good ending to a real foggy walk. =)

      Thanks, Betsy! Sometimes fog is just so thick...like cream soup. =)

      Thanks, Mary Lee, it's also the line that shows how hard it was to "see" because the fog 'caught my eye'. Hee-hee! =)

    Love "swirling cream-soup fog"... sounds both delicious and mysterious.
