LA TOUR EIFFEL

(Author's name withheld by request)

 * This poem provides an example of quatrains with an interlocking or chain rhyme scheme.
So boldly wrought, with elegant form,
Her members cold, their unity warm,
She met and stemmed a captious storm
with haute insouciance.

She whispers skyward, sings to earth,
Binds old to new with wanton mirth,
Exalting Gallic pride of birth
Dans leur beau pays la France.
