Fallingwater

Fallingwater is a house Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright And tours are given of its rooms To bring one great delight. The home is cantilevered So the owners'd have a view Of a lovely waterfall, a vista Visited by few. Every door and every window Can be opened all around So the residents or visitors Could relish every sound. All the terraces and woodwork, Every fireplace and lamp Is so obvious a Wright work, Just as if he'd left a stamp. After touring and observing Such a setting so divine, I can only state the obvious - I wish that place were mine!

I remember seeing a picture of that house when I was in drafting class. Very simple appearance. Expensive though I heard.

If I can't have it, Ilene, I would wish that you could, since you appreciate the house and its setting so appropriately and so deeply. With this poem, you have given the essence of the place to all of your readers. Very good work.
