Analysis of Fog
"Fog" is a short poem, six lines long, split into two stanzas. It is a free verse poem, having no regular rhyme or set meter (metre in British English).
The poem is an extended metaphor, the poet seeing the fog as a cat that comes on tiny, silent feet, as cats do when they are stalking for example. Only a cat can move in such a way, almost imperceptibly, and in complete silence.
But why choose a cat?
A cat is an independent animal, it doesn't follow rules, it slips and slides in and out of our lives as it pleases, just like fog, which knows no boundaries.
Cats are stealthy, moving in slow motion at times. They can fix themselves onto an object or creature, seemingly in a trance, yet they appear to be moving in a most mysterious fashion.
This poem captures a little of this feline mystery. The reader's mind becomes filled with this dual imagery of fog and cat, fog turning into a cat, cat morphing back into the fog. By doing this, the poet is introducing the idea that the fog is alive and is an entity.
Cats also have the habit of finding a place which gives them an overview of a landscape or territory. They can sit or lie for hours in this elevated state, taking in all that happens almost inscrutably.
Fog, likewise, moves in at a slow pace and then stops, smothering everything, covering a landscape or seascape, and bringing silence and mystery. You cannot see through or into it, much like trying to understand a cat—you can only get so far. Can you ever get to know a cat? Ever get to know fog?
Cats like to move on at their own pace—at their leisure. They become totally relaxed but when they want to move they do so usually on their own terms. Before you know it, they've disappeared, faded away into the undergrowth, leaving only their aura behind. Same with the fog.
Short lines
By keeping the lines short, the poet is controlling the pace, keeping it slow. As you read, you have to slow down because you're not too certain about the next word or line. This reflects the slow fog rolling in.
