What does the poet wants to convey through the poem " Fog "

In the poem "Fog", the poet desires to convey about the characteristic nature of fog.The poem is a short expression of the view of fog.Here,fog is not just a natural phenomenon,it is rather referred to as a creature.
Here,fog refers to a form of mist which is cloudy and travels silently.Its nature resembles that of a mere cat. As a cat silently approaches on its little feet,barely making a sound.Similarly,the fog too approaches over a city silently.
The fog upon engulfing the city looks upon the harbour and all over the city.This is similar to a cat's nature, as it too likes to sit around and watch over the city and his surroundings.
Finally,the fog moves away on its silent haunches .This reminds the poet about the cat's familiar nature,as it also moves away silently on its little feet,without making a sound or attracting any attention.

I hope this answer wound be rather fitting and appropriate to a reader like you...
Thank you.
