Question

What poetic device is used in the poem "Fog" written by Carl Sandburg?

Answer 1

In the first two lines, Sandburg introduces the subject and includes a strong metaphor throughout the poem. The fog comes in over a harbor and a city in a way that a cat would. At first it's quiet and unsuspecting, like a cat. Then, it moves on and disappears and pounces on another harbor and city.

Answer 2

'Metaphor' is the poetic device that has been employed by Carl Sandburg in the poem "Fog"

Explanation:

• Metaphor is demonstrated as the literary device in which the author establishes an implied comparison between two distinct or unrelated things/ideas.
• It allows the author to clarify an idea more effectively to the readers and promote a better understanding.
• The poem 'Fog' is an extended metaphor where the poet compares the 'fog' to a 'cat' and its 'little feet.'
• He compares the characteristics of a cat with the fog. Like Cat is independent and doesn't prefer obeying rules, similarly the fog slips and slides in 'harbor and city' without boundaries.
• The feline mystery of the cat is also compared with the fog. Thus, the poem employs the metaphor to elaborate on the idea.
