Carrie Richards Poet Quintain (English)

Clock Tower Plaza

.

                         A victorian plaza in center of our town square
                         Where names inscribed in copper,  remembrance, to last
                         Voices whisper of pioneer stories that harbor there
                         A stately Clock tower, regal, tall, recalls, while sunlight casts
                         Fading shadows, upon founding fathers, of centuries past
