Instead of the graphics primitive Point, use the function CrossMark defined
below to mark the poles. The Graphics command gives you a rough idea how to
display a P/Z plot. However, unless you are determined to write your own P/Z
or root locus plot routine, you may also want to check out the evaluation
version of our circuits and systems analysis toolbox Analog Insydes. Its
graphics module includes a root locus plot function (see URL in my sig).

-- Eckhard

CrossMark[sz_][{x_, y_}] :=
  { Line[{Scaled[{-sz,  sz}, {x, y}], Scaled[{ sz, -sz}, {x, y}]}],
    Line[{Scaled[{-sz, -sz}, {x, y}], Scaled[{ sz,  sz}, {x, y}]}] }

Graphics[{CrossMark[0.02][{1,1}], CrossMark[0.05][{1.5,0.5}]},
    PlotRange->{{0,2},{0,2}}, Axes->True, AspectRatio->1]
  // Show
