Poetic Devices in 'Fog'
Carl Sandburg's 'Fog' is brief but rich in poetic devices. Here are the key ones:
1. Metaphor
A direct comparison between two unlike things without using 'like' or 'as'.
- "The fog comes on little cat feet." (The fog is directly compared to a cat. Its silent, stealthy arrival and departure are likened to a cat's movements.)
2. Personification
Giving human qualities or actions to inanimate objects or abstract ideas.
- "The fog comes..." (Fog is given the human action of 'coming'.)
- "It sits looking over harbor and city..." (Fog is personified as having the ability to 'sit' and 'look'.)
- "And then moves on." (Fog is given the human action of 'moving on'.)
3. Imagery
Using descriptive language to create vivid mental images for the reader, appealing to the senses.
- **Visual:** "little cat feet" (helps visualize the quiet, soft approach), "harbor and city" (creates a scene of the fog enveloping the landscape), "sits looking" (visualizes the fog's stationary presence).
