A chapter in the book Octograms
The Lifting Fog
by adewpearl
As darkness lifts, let dawn begin on earth below. On rolling hills mist settles in; the fog hangs low. The landscape still in silhouette has not full blaze of day yet met, so till the sun completes her glow, the fog hangs low. I feel the pulse of life within this first light show, and as more brilliance gathers in, I feel it grow. As muted pastels disappear and fog banks slowly start to clear, I pray this day on me bestow God's light aglow. |

The octogram is a brand new poetic form invented by Fan Story's own Sally Yocom. This is my second poem written in this gorgeous form. A verse is 8 lines long with syllable count of 8/4/8/4/8/8/8/4, with a rhyme scheme of ABABCCBB.
In the second verse the rhyme is ABABDDBB.
