Fog - Carl Sandburg

The fog comes 
on little cat feet. 

It sits looking 
over harbor and city 
on silent haunches 
and then moves on.

• "Fog" was first presented as an assorment of poems in "Chicago Poems" by Carl Sandburg. In the poem “Fog”, there is a clear sign of the arrival of industry in the 20th century in Chicago; the line “over harbor and city” is simple, yet it gives the reader a solid image of what he’s talking about. 
• "Fog" was influenced by Japanese haikus, with its short, blunt lines and stanzas.
• "Fog" was also influenced by the imagism movement which appeared in the early 20th century.
