Plaza Poems - Poems about Plaza

PAVEMENT PLAZA

Evictions left and right
People forced into a plight
In a darkened tunnel with no light
Pavement Plaza 
Pushed onto the streets
No home and nothing to eat
It was a complex and a landlord with no heart
Some were Seniors and changes in family households
No means to make end’s meat
Humanitarian termination
Understanding in complex bills need to be paid
Meanwhile the evicted

In a Plaza

I’m sitting in a plaza as
I’m waiting for a friend.
There’s a bench and breeze, both things
On which you never can depend.

I’ve got the time and also have
My pencil and my pad,
So getting here this early wasn’t
Really all that bad.

I hardly get to see this friend
So this is such a treat.
We’re seeing different plays, but still
At

Dealey Plaza, are you keeping right on the still unresolved Elm street?


I had a cat, a large one
I thought I loved the cat
The cat thought he loved me too!

Then, one day,
They took the cat away
The cat, with the bassinet, the little furry presence
And Sameeha’s science club chapstick
And I thought I was kissing scientific a book cover
Where he is artistic in a beauty in the other way,

Poeming In the Plaza

Poets write poetry; I order pizza
Watch Jeopardy every evening
Close my emails with "Sincerely"
Instead of my own fancy phrase
Wear solid colors--no artsy-fartsy scarf
To set me apart from a regular person

I'm just like a regular person
Spending my afternoon in a plaza
Shopping for a navy blue scarf
Seeking company for the evening
This normalcy is only a phase
I tell my

Auto Da Fe At the Plaza Major

Auto-da-fé at Plaza Major



Sixteen-Eighty was brutal on saints and their hissing cats.
A turgid June, thickened as it was by an immature sanguinary wine
that failed to quench the civil mob.

Above the birthday cake façade, the pink and cerise porticoes,
the heavenly-frocked casements, the stucco -
a tiered sibilance rises where the throng in a sportive sweat,
begets its feverish

Plaza Del Canon

Ibiza's St Eularia has a pleasant 
playground square, the Plaza del Canon, 
above the Carrer Molins de Rei, 
and below the longer Carrer del Mar.

One corner, with its small cafe,
is the shady side to meet, 
holding loosely to the doggy lead 
sipping coffee, nibbling treats.

The grannies and the mothers 
watch their children run and play

On Dealey Plaza

In pristine sunshine
         A couple embrace the day   
       Pink mist sends shockwaves

At Plaza Square

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 memory,
I wasn't ready. Were memories dragging me
 In four directions

United Nations Plaza

Temperature dip
urban leaves turned
Autumn, sniffing around
for a place to settle
no Farmer's Market
in San Francisco today.
