Marilyn Lott Poems

She really is quite exciting
And her name tells us so
It was rather daunting
I love to watch her grow.
...

Twelve months in each year
Each season is a dream
But the best of surprises
Happen only in spring.
...

It started with a vision in her mind
From the heart of a little girl
A mixture of brilliant colors
A swipe, a dot or a swirl.
...

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.
...

If you want to make a kid happy
Just put a fishing pole in his hand
As soon as he snags one
He'll feel like the King in his land.
...

He taught me how to run, oh yes
From the time that I could walk
And other plans he had for me
Just as soon as I could talk.
...

I go outside on a chilly day
Look up and down my flower beds
My little friends look up at me
With their sad little wintery heads.
...

Miracle is the perfect name
For this Cora Bell
I have two of them, you see
So I know them very well.
...

This beautiful deep red cluster
So delightful to my nose
Is one of my very favorites
A lovely fragrant rose.
