Read the following poem "fog" by carl sandburg

the fog comes
on little cat feet.

it sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on

what aspect of this poem clearly makes it as a work of modernism?

. It creates a single image, the eseence of the fog.

Explanation:

Modernist poetry is impressionistic instead of lyrical, and often focuses on one single image or a vignette to convey its theme and the poem consists of short impressions.

This poem has a lot of character, uses free verse with the normal every day diction of speech but with pointed and sharp small lines to convey the essence of the fog contained in a small space.

The small lines, the impassioned tone without flowery diction is all symbolic of a modernist tinge to the poetry.

as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

sadly it cannot chuck wood
