Qatar has an amazing skyline in West Bay and many of its iconic buildings look their best at night shining brightly into the dark sky.

But sometimes these buildings take our attention away from some of the other interesting structures in Doha. These may be overlooked because of their size or their location. Let’s try and appreciate one of such buildings today.

Here is a short poem to the building called Barzan Tower in West Bay. An ode is a poem written to celebrate and praise something that has caught the attention of the poet.

We here at QL cannot claim to be particularly poetical but did keep to the rhyming structure of ABABCDECDE. How do you think we did?

Ode to Barzan Tower

Oh, how confident you are

A mix of old and new

Reaching high into the air.

Giving us a majestic view

You rise from the ground

Elegance restrained.

Always on duty

You should be crowned,

For having entertained

Us QLers with your beauty.

Barzan Tower looks stunning at night...

Do not overlook Barzan Tower the next time you pass by it.

What did you think of our little poem? If you are feeling adventurous maybe you could have a go at writing a poem about our city of Doha?
