Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 A Nocturnal Connection

The Eiffel Tower towers tall,

Illuminated in the night,

A golden hue now to enthrall

This passerby who catches sight,

As across River Seine I stand

To take a pause in my return

To the hotel for dinner planned.

I have some time in my sojourn,

This beauty to appreciate,

That she's stood here for so long for

The joys and sorrows of past fate,

And will stand here for many more.

"La Dame de Fer" forever be

The shining spirit of Paree.
