A Needle in the Sky
Posted: April 22, 2012
Celebrating Seattle's iconic landmark…
A needle in a haystack? No!
A needle in the clouds.
A World's Fair symbol that still draws
Seattle's airborne crowds.
A half a century has passed
since that orange saucer lay
atop a steel beige pedestal
in rainy skies of gray.
The kid who watched the needle built
was but a boy of ten
who dined within the restaurant
while it would slowly spin.
I'm still amazed (and oh so proud)
to see the Needle stand
now that the wide-eyed little boy's
a sixty-year-old man.
