A builder in every sense of the word. This is a brilliant poem, and a wonderful tribute.

Buildings have personalities derived from their inhabitants. Your wife's searching, your poem writing, just the need to see a picture of it show how deeply connected place and people are. And using the sonnet seems appropriate because its traditional format reflects the architecture: the art of building is based on blueprints, that is, patterns, and pattern is the essence of a sonnet. This strikes as only the first poem in a series you could write to make your families' pasts into present tense.

His memory we hold with expressive emotion in this poem. Serenely it stands more than a hundred years is very amazing. The imagery is drawn carefully and this is fantastically clever poem.

Kim, very nice poem, Did you have a chance to knock on the door and meet with the owner?

Wow, now that was quite an experience. And, yes it is a treasure. Going to Buy It? Seems worth it. Well written poem. I enjoyed it. Read mine - I Cannot Return - Adeline
