Best Square Up Poems
One Square MileIn 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...

Too Square For Twoyou ... 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 ......

The Sun In the Squareone 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 SquareThe 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 SquareAt “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...

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

Everyone knows it'll wag it's tail
What's the reaction you get from a goose?

The Red Square NebulaThe 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...

Square Dance Skillet
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 Bloodno 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...

Washington Square ParkA 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...

From Times SquareDazzling 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...
