“Once organic character is achieved in the work of Art, that work is forever. Like sun, moon, and stars, great trees, flowers and grass it is and stays on while and wherever man is.”—Frank Lloyd Wright

“What Wright does in his architecture is make poetry. He makes images that people can relate to and he makes buildings that celebrate the various purposes for which they were designed.”—Neil Levine

We asked young writers around the country to submit haiku connected to the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. Haiku, like Wright’s work, is a poetic expression of our relationship to nature and the seasonal cycles of life.

We hope you enjoy this gallery of student work submitted in the months following this site's launch. You may learn more about haikus with the lesson plan “The Poetry of Form: Frank Lloyd Wright and Haiku. ”
