I'm not a writer, but I've always enjoyed writing. I grew up in Syracuse. I love the building fabric of Armory Square, which was the inspiration for my haiku. I'm an architect, so work in a visual profession. I was really trying to visualize how the haiku could be portrayed. I wanted to create a picture through the words, a feel; a feel and an image. I appreciate that students do the poster design. Students have a lot to offer the organization; they are intrepid and talented! I'm thrilled the posters are placed around Syracuse. It allows people to take pride in their city and it brings a little color and inspiration for all to enjoy.
