Marilyn Lott Poems

On a quiet, warm, afternoon
There is nothing I like more
Than to sit upon a swing
With birds and bees galore.
...

My life had become hectic
I needed to get away
Quiet was what I needed
Some peace for me that day.
...

This is New Year's Eve, my friends
So much can happen next year
Will something bad happen to us
Much sadness that will bring us tears?
...

It is called the Umbrella plant
It will fit most anywhere
You could put it in your house
By a window near your chair.
...

I want to tell you a story, my friend
About what my birds have done
They twit about the bird feeders
Oh, they are so much fun.
...

Once again October is here
Your birthday's on my mind
The happy years of childhood
Are always there... I find.
...

Autumn is simply beautiful
Where the colors are bright and bold
But when you are out in the country
There are many nature stories to be told.
...

I have a lovely place in which to sit
The perfect place for a visit
With comfy chairs and brilliant flowers
To me my place is exquisite.
...

The reason they have pumpkin patches
Are so little kids who live in town
Can see the colors, smells and love
And hear all the wonderful country sounds.
