Maycomb is a fictional town in Alabama. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Maycomb is the small town where the Finch family lives. Scout describes it as being "a tired old town." The town is also the county seat of Maycomb County. Scout notes that during "rainy weather the streets turned to red slop; grass grew on the sidewalks, the courthouse sagged in the square." The square in town is filled with live oak trees, which provide shade. The Maycomb Tribune is the town's only newspaper.
To write a poem about the town of Maycomb, you will have to look at the details of the place. You can then choose the details you want to focus on and incorporate them in your poem. Here is an example of a beginning of a poem about Maycomb:
Maycomb is a tired place
where people know every face
Live oak trees cover the square
In summertime, you should be there.
Good luck with your poem!
