Poetry About Eiffel Tower

The tower lifts its iron net above the Seine. Elevators climb through rivets and wind. Below, Paris arranges roofs toward evening. What critics called a skeleton learned grace. Millions look up from the same small lawn. A temporary monument outlives the argument.

Look again from the quieter edge. Elevators climb through rivets and wind. A smaller detail changes the whole scene. What critics called a skeleton learned grace. Attention loosens the first easy answer. A temporary monument outlives the argument.

The tower lifts its iron net above the Seine. Hours pass, but the image does not leave. Below, Paris arranges roofs toward evening. It returns us to Paris, ironwork, engineering, tourism, city views, and a temporary structure that became a symbol. Millions look up from the same small lawn. The day continues with a more attentive heart.
