Poetry
The Golden Gate Bridge
By Ghost
15 November 2007

Fabricated steel of orange vermillion
Spanning the golden gate strait
A milieu backdrop of San Francisco
Of Marin headlands ornate

Cotton wool shrouds of cumbersome fog
Sweep forth from Pacific ocean
Erasing the vista of bridge deck expanse
Like magicians mysterious potion

Infamous towers soar mountain high
Like magnets alluring their prey
Where occasional mortals in suicide
Lose faith in a world gone astray

What a lovely description. I used to live in Vancouver, where they have the Lions Gate Bridge. They also had the fog and at night-time you could hear the fog horns going. Do you have them in San Francisco? Very well written. I liked your description very much indeed. Is this where you live?

Described well. The final verse was a bit of a shock considering what went before, but it worked well.
