Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

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!

Trevor Mcleod July 9, 2015 at 7:10 PM I remember seeing a picture of that house when I was in drafting class. Very simple appearance. Expensive though I heard.

Robert Johnson June 10, 2015 at 8:15 PM I love the whole craftsman style he invoked.

Leo Larry Amadore June 6, 2015 at 10:21 AM 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.
