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

I don't know why, but when I saw the title, I thought of the clock in "Back to the Future". Descriptive write. Vince
