Best Square Poems

In one square mile, northeast of Noojee,
there are seven birds that I often get to see
as I walk on the tracks in pristine forestry,
in one square mile, northeast of Noojee.

A Whipbird crack through ti-tree scrub,
a Lyrebird echo from Cascade Creek,
Red Browed Finch on the sword...

you ... are the paramour of right angles
the square of a square - complete, quite aware
how two must adore you
for all it sees is itself, reflected
an angular fist - quite the narcissist
and the first number, sublime, that is NOT a prime
you move with order ......

one waiter
ten tables
a sunshade and chair

a small cup
strong coffee
the sun in the square.

the fountain
a church door
the white heat and glare

graffitti
neat flowers
the sun in the square.

a slight breeze
a pigeon
a clock chime somewhere

a small dish
one euro
the sun in the square....

The Fifties were really and truly not all that square
Though that dullard Dwight D. sat in the Executive Chair
And his frumpy wife Mamie had really bad hair
Matching those dowdy, plain dresses she'd wear ...

While husbands toiled in obscurity for large corporations 
The "Ugly Americans," reviled...

At “Plaza" square  
Where sugary stars kindle for the evening,  
A forgetting child wake up from the nap, 
Weeping over, dull night where the time flee  
as water drains into along distance-

Long evening, tossing transparent spirit 
By light clouds, drizzle on sad...

Oh, you ARE a beauty, that's sure
          And are we really so different, you and I?
               Miracles, exquisite, born from the forces...

A tribute to Hollywood Squares
   Q and A changed a little somtimes to rhyme

If you decide to pet a dog 
Everyone knows it'll wag it's tail
What's the reaction you get from a goose?
"Of course make him bark, without fail!" .....Paul Lynde

Long ago when...

The word of anger spoken by the square
mouth of the dark, an interstellar swear,

addressed to who knows whom. A scarlet curse,
a four-horned furiousness, which in the journal
kept by the apathetic universe
looks like an inner breakup, an external 
candescent flash of light, a red-hot dozen
of exclamation...

God's greenest, avocados, sliced in a bright red ceramic bowl
Mix them with eggs and they dance with exuberant cowboy soul!

Ever observe them twirling in that griddle?
It indeed takes a Poet to see them do the "allemand left"right in the middle,
to the sounds of a fiddle!

The...

no circle in the square root of blood
my nose is a new tourist site

no circle in the square root of blood
my spit is the new crimson river of mass confusion

no circle in the square root of blood
my head has a rowboat with a hole from...

A park has been making the news
Because people have differing views.
Those who live very near
Wish that all would adhere
To the rules and stop breaking taboos.

But a younger crowd’s recently found
They could party with no cops around
So they flock to this park,
Even more after dark,
Where their...

when you are soaked wet through
        ¿is that the bones of you visible?
   do we need to get closer
      take everything out of context
   out of focus

Dazzling lights 
Throngs of people 
Walking through crowded streets 
  Reminds us of why we live here 
Costumed performers - Bright theatre marquees 
Seeing those sights brings happiness 
   to native and tourist alike 
  Autumn - a chill in the...
