Engineering

Bridges are a feat
Of girders and pylons
Spandrels and tension
Dead load and
compression
Piers and spandrels
So damn amazing to me
This complexity

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
