Span (Reverse Nonet)

Brick

fortress!

Built for time,

weathered by storms

and emissions’ waste.

Utilitarian,

tooled for purpose not beauty,

you loan your helping hand to the

weary traveler, crossing to HOME.

A picture word poem about a bridge.  Did you guess correctly?

Reverse Nonet: 9 lines with the syllables increasing by one each line.  Normallly a nonet starts with 9 syllables on the first line, I chose to reverse this!
