If song lyrics count, Eleni Mandell's "Iowa City" is the poem that will always stick in my mind about that town.

  Girls, the boys don't cheat in Iowa City
  Iowa City nothing to do
  Now they're crisp and they're clean
  Iowa City
  Iowa Iowa
  Skies are blue
  
  Not so, Chicago
  Never, New York
  When you're off and you're looking for something
  What will you do?
  Where will you go?
