"Fog" by Carl Sandburg has no specific poetic structure. There is no rhyme scheme, and there is no meter. The poem describes how the fog comes over the harbor and into the city, waits, and then continues on. It is an extended metaphor because it compares the fog's movement to that of a cat. This is especially seen when it describes the fog as sitting on "silent haunches" and having "little cat feet".
