Poem Fog

The fog comes

on little cat feet.

It sits looking

over harbour and city

on silent haunches

and then moves on.

-by Carl Sandburg

Explanation : This short poem is an expression of the view of fog. For the poet, fog is not just a natural phenomenon, it is rather a creature. Fog has been compared with a cat as the way fog comes, is very similar to the ways of a cat. As a cat walks silently on its small feet, the fog also comes in the same manner, as if trying to avoid any attention. 

Fog’s presence over and around a city seems as if a cat is sitting silently on its haunches and looking over the harbour and the city. Finally, when fog leaves a city, it looks like a cat’s slow and silent steps moving on from a place.This very small poem is describing nature’s act in a beautiful manner.

Fog Summary in Hindi

Fog Summary in Hindi

यह लघु कविता कोहरे के दृश्य की अभिव्यक्ति है। कवि के लिए कोहरा महज एक प्राकृतिक घटना नहीं है, बल्कि यह एक प्राणी है। कोहरे की तुलना बिल्ली से की गई है क्योंकि जिस तरह से कोहरा आता है, वह बिल्ली के तौर-तरीकों से काफी मिलता-जुलता है। 

जैसे बिल्ली अपने छोटे-छोटे पैरों पर चुपचाप चलती है, कोहरा भी उसी तरह आता है, मानो किसी का ध्यान भटकाने की कोशिश कर रहा हो। किसी शहर के ऊपर और उसके आस-पास कोहरे की मौजूदगी ऐसी लगती है जैसे कोई बिल्ली चुपचाप बैठी हो और बंदरगाह और शहर को देख रही हो। 

अंत में, जब कोहरा किसी शहर से निकलता है, तो ऐसा लगता है जैसे एक बिल्ली के धीमे और चुपचाप कदम एक जगह से आगे बढ़ रहे हैं। यह बहुत छोटी सी कविता प्रकृति की इस लीला का सुंदर ढंग से वर्णन कर रही है।
