Question

To what sense do the "haunches" of Sandburg's poem "Fog" appeal?

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is the visual sense, that is the sense of SIGHT.

Explanation:

The fog comes

on little cat feet.

It sits looking

over harbor and city

on silent haunches

and then moves on.

Sandburg describes the fog visually with “little cat feet” and “silent haunches” making his audience picture the fog, metaphorically, as a cat.

While reading the poem, you can almost feel the fog too. The metaphor of the cat creates an imaginary image in one's head.
