CONVERGENCE

Frank Wright had an idea

                                             Bob Frost had an idea

Which popped into his head

                                             Which popped into his mind

A vision of a structure

                                             A vision of a poem

                       Which both knew how

                          to transform into

                                REALITY

Frank's specialty was physical

                                              Bob's specialty was word

Beams, slabs,glass, and steel

                                               Stanzas, verses, alliteration

                             For each specialty

                               a vocabulary

                             of creative thinking

Frank built buildings

                                                 Bob built poetry

Buildings which moved and inspired

                                                 Poetry which touched hearts and inspired

A house called "Falling Waters"

                                                  "The Road Less Traveled"

                                      Physical

                                                Emotional

                                          The Same

                                            GENIOUS

* Frank Lloyd Wright was a famous architect

* I realized it had been a while since I ventured out of rhyme.

    So try this semi-parallel form.................stan

It's a form I came up with on old site. It posts better without the double spacing but for some reason the new site only allows me to post it this way. Glad you like this style.............stan

I, too, like the style you have used! Very effective. Both men were builders of worlds!

It is always nice to have friends enjoy a form I have come up with. I had been thinking about the similarities between writing and architecture for a while and it finally popped into my hollow head that I had a good form for comparison if I'd only use it lol..................stan
