the statue of liberty and her twin
twin statues by bournemouth

A French sculptor
Called Bartholdi
In many ways inventor
Except for melody,
That was Alsatian
And not boetian
Knew the glory
Beyond the History,
Creating the statue of Liberty
Later than Jules Verne's editor, Pierre Jules Hertzel
And with the help of an engineer, Gustave Eiffel,
That built bridges and a tower,
Working with their craftmen.
They made the draft of the two women.
The big one is the gift of France,
In all sincerity,
To commemorate the independance
Of the great power,
With her torch lightening humanity.
One is in New-York,
In stone and not in cork
On Liberty Island
The other one is in Paris
Hidden on a little island
And only seen by photo-safaris.

Author Notes
The two statues, one very well known in New-York and the other one, her twin soul in Paris in the"île aux cygnes", the island of the swans in Paris.
