Sara Kendrick Poet Narrative

The Square

Sitting on the very old court house square
New bank facility on the corner
Massive structure, commanding, once bare
This square once small stores center

People came to shop, talk, and visit
Some would go to the corner drug store
From the fountain get a shake and sit
Now that drugstore is torn down, no more

The grand hotel on another corner
Beautiful brick simple design square
Non-operational now vacant
In limbo waiting for revival
