How would you describe GUSTAVE EIFFEL’s architectural masterpiece in 35 words or less? TORONTO communication strategist and writer LOUANN BUHROWS manages to do so in 32. Originally her poem was a celebration of TORONTO’s Second Empire style George Brown House on Beverley Street, but it fits the Eiffel Tower to a “T”.
The beauty of your lines,
Your curves, draws me
You arch over me
An infinite grace
Carved in exultation
I reach out with my eyes
As you induce me
Achingly beyond touch.
