Does anyone really need to apply
When poetry now can be made through AI?
Here's one for Tower Bridge:
In London town where Thames flows wide,
Stands a marvel in regal pride.
Tower Bridge, a grandeur sight,
A crossing of strength, a beacon of light.
Its towers reach for the sky so high,
Guardians watching as ships pass by.
With arms outstretched, it spans the stream,
A timeless icon, a poet's dream.
In daylight's glow or evening's grace,
Its silhouette paints a picturesque space.
With intricate details, finely spun,
A masterpiece beneath the sun.
The bridge unfolds with majestic grace,
A symphony of iron, a dance in place.
Its drawbridge lifts, a grand ballet,
To let the vessels sail away.
Through history's pages, it stands tall,
Witness to triumphs, to rise and fall.
A symbol of resilience, of strength untold,
Tower Bridge, a story to behold.
So let us marvel at its span,
A tribute to the spirit of man.
Tower Bridge, a beacon of might,
Guiding us through the day and night.
so probably not you
Who owns the work?
The need to be 'a poet who has been published in a recognised (by whom and how) poetry magazine or journal' is a fairly big gate to get through and in my view is suggestive of this being a publicity stunt because they already have a candidate.
... sorry!
They were fantastic - a real lift to my day.

It (or the second part anyway) was written as the libretto for a piece of music for the bridge's opening. The piece of music was not really my cup of tea.
There was a wobble in the middle
How to fix it? was the riddle
Engineers then came to fiddle
Adding stuff not bought at Lidl
Do I get the gig? Thought not.
Was falling down, in London town
Has the lyrical muse spread its wings so wide
For the laurel wreath - or the tiger's teeth!
Crossed the bridge it became wobbly.
The media loved to denounce
The bridge with a bounce.
But now it's been damped
There's no sway when it's tramped.
The five bridges' new poet-in residence is 31 year-old Cecilia Knapp, formerly the Young Person’s Laureate for London and currently the resident poet at Great Ormond Street Hospital.
An obvious stitch-up... much like a bridge is.
