Ode to the Sydney Opera House

 

You sit in your white glory

By the blue ocean

 

 

Like a flock of birds

Ready to take off

 

Like swollen sails

Setting off to sea

 

Like a sophisticated statue

The chiseled spirit of creativity

 

Like segments of a ripe citrus fruit

Tempting and mouth watering

 

Like nothing

 

Resembling the actual

Steel, cement,

Brick and mortar

You’re made of

 

You’re not a building

You’re an artistic masterpiece

 

You shouldn’t be out on the street

You belong in an art gallery.
