carpe diem
the night defiled the day
with howling hunger
he hunted her
picking up day's scent
with a wild glint in his eyes
tasted blood on the air
pursuing
with guttural grunts
until she was run into the ground
shadows tainted her
his hate gripped
a bright countenance
cruelly he raped the day
thrown into darkness
she lost her way
a bastard was born
deviant in nature
grey in color
confusing and confounding
all that would seize the day
and she named him fog

Very different than the usual Brenda. I like how you built the mystery, its almost begging for a sequel.

All those terrifying images throughout, but they're dispersed by the fog. A dense mist and confusion can be deadly as the beast depicted here. What you can't see can kill you. Wonderful work Crim, a tale well told,

This one wobbles along the way, having points where I wondered what the point is supposed to be, but in the end this poem comes together as a well-structured piece of interpretive myth, sort of like how Ovid and Ted Hughes interpreted the myths of old to tell new stories. Thank you for the read. - Jack xxx

There is a beautiful darkness in fog. This reminds me of a poem I wrote about 10 years ago when I was living by the bay in California about the fog that would roll across the bay every evening just after sunset called "Descent".
I clearly saw the fog descending on the city
Depositing a film of condensation, like pity
Dripping from the awning, her tears drew rivers
Cleansing the morning of the sun's rising slivers
Forming a path towards the past she can't escape
Forgotten in words, drawn without shape
The sky grew blue behind the gray phantom
Clarity blew the mind of the blue-eyed one at random
Precisely when ordered in a timely fashion
Expectations demanded she dressed well for passion
Though she never expected his figure to float
Surrounding her flesh with the words that he wrote
His verse carried waves rolling patterns in wet sand
The dew covered beach lost the battle for dry land

Brenda beautifully done I was taken into the scene. Could feel and see all the imaginary painted there.
Enjoyed the birth or the fog.

Beautiful Brenda...just the picture caused me to inhale deeply...there is always a certain scent in the air as the mist floats to blur all - sometimes within that blur, all comes into focus....I loved this lovely one.
I love you :)
