Marilyn Lott Poems

Some nights I snuggle in, so warm, deep
Then there are others when I cannot sleep.
It seems tiny monsters with ugly heads
Sit in comfort all around my worn out bed.
...

When I was a little girl about five
We bought baby chickens so small
Kept them warm by the wood stove
We could hardly hear them at all.
...

I had a dream the other night
I never would have thought
I would dream about tomatoes
That was a bit of a shock.
...

The moon full and shining
Across the water so blue
A cabin with lights glowing
Trees finish the picture so true.
...

Do you feel sometimes your guy
Just doesn’t have a clue?
That he isn’t trying very hard
To please and honor you?
...

Every year folks celebrate
So many things occur
Thinking special thoughts
For life that we've endured.
...

I find it is simply the very best
A flower for a butterfly to rest

His lovely wings on a flower of red
...

I think porches are so fascinating
They come in every size
You can sit upon the porch and read
Become older, yes, but wise.
...

One day I saw this lonely little leave
Upon the blacktop driveway
The wind was blowing gently
Causing it to swing and sway.
...

When I look at the autumn colors
I often associate them to spice
The colors all seem to blend
They are warm, rich and so nice.
