Marilyn Lott Poems

Sunsets, Flowers and Windmills
Are a part of what you can expect
From the state of Oklahoma
Many special things that we get
...

I love my family photos
Such a simple treasure to me
So many wonderful people
That are part of my history
...

Do you see this little tiny plant
In the middle of red rock and dirt?
It looks so very lonely there
To stop and visit it would not hurt.
...

I remember as a little girl
I’d sit for long periods of time
Watching a simple ant hill
They were interesting I’d find
...

Oh my dear, such iciness
Took cold to the bone
I saw a sweet little bird
Sitting on a branch alone.
...

It has been seventeen years now, Mom
Since the day you said good-bye
It was so hard to see you go
All I wanted to do was cry.
...

I watched a couple the other day
Both in their 80s at least
She was scraping out a trench
In which to plant some seeds.
...

The air was fresh and crisp
This springtime star lit night
Blue-black and luminous
The stars were quite a sight.
...

Thank you, God
For this lovely day
I truly enjoyed it
In every single way.
...

It was just a simple autumn day
When I took a little ride
Upon my mare called Evie
On her back I was astride.
