Tower

TOWER

            Tall tower tempting to touch torn clouds.
            Obstinate overconfident, overwhelmed on own structure.
            Wonderful high rise offering warm wishes to sky.
            Erecting arrogant head entertaining eagle to perch on parapet. 
            Rooftop feels proud of height, casting pitiful glances on ground.
