Burj Al Arab…
(Dubai 2005 & 2007…)
Changed colour
Like a chameleon,
Perched precariously
Like a robust wood pigeon.
Rose vertically
Like the stance of a meerkat,
Hunched motionless
Like a cornered sewer rat.
Forced erect
Like a shark’s dorsal fin,
Looking remarkably
Like a pregnant penguin…

This remarkable hotel was a highlight of my visits to
Dubai in 2005 & 2007.
It was built on a causeway out into the sea and was clearly extremely expensive to stay at.
It was a spectacular feature on the Dubai skyline….
I was fortunate enough to take afternoon tea there in 2007...
