BURJ KETTLE... (My poem from 2007 about how a mauve Burj Al Arab appeared as darkness fell...)

 Burj Kettle…



The giant luminous kettle

Towered above

Its Madinat surroundings

On a pleasant evening,

Waterside.

Warm, no breeze,

Barely a ripple,

As a moored dhow

Sparkled in dark Dubai…


The imposing mauve kettle

Steamed over

Unsuspecting surroundings

On a gentle evening,

Waterside.

Shrouding so secretively,

Barely a movement,

As the flawed smog

Descended on dark Dubai…
