Traffic Under The Sydney Harbour Tunnel : Narrative Poetry

Another man made marvel an engineering feat ,
steering its way from North to South ,drilled with precision and skill .
The Sydney Harbour tunnel she alleviates the bridge
by easing peak hour traffic that stood still .
An over spill under the stir of ferry boats .
Out of sight harbour lights .
The tunnel takes the traffic flow .
We all pay as we go to where Manly beach awaits with seagulls on the shore ,
or to the commercial centre where skyscrapers seem to grow.
It came one day back in 1992 when all the traffic first crossed the Sydney harbour tunnel .
Caught up in the flow of a high octane zone .
Night and day.
All we do is make our way .
We are free to come and go .
