Marilyn Lott Poems

Relaxing in the country
On the other side of the fence
When will someone come and chat?
They’re keeping me in suspense
...

Have you ever spent a night
Out in the dense dark forest?
Perhaps you pitch a tent
For an outdoorsy kind of rest
...

Have you been to a class reunion?
Can you imagine what it would be like
If you hadn’t seen classmates for 50 years
I doubt you would know most on sight
...

Another icy day
As winter continues on
A frosty glaze on everything
Creates a wintry song
...

Little girls are sitting so pretty
Waiting for the parade to start
You can see they’re so excited
That it surely flutters their heart
...

I took a walk this afternoon
It’s kind of like in spring
The weather starts to change now
But we know what autumn brings
...

There were rough and tough cowboys
That came to the town of Yukon
Settled right into the middle of town
As though it’s a place they belong
...

Do you ever watch old western movies?
I have and it just seems to me
The way women were portrayed back then
Do not come off believably
...

We went on an interesting and informative tour
I know you would have enjoyed as well
We learned all about the making of beer
It was a place for hops and malt to dwell
...

It is now old and in need of paint
Sits alone in a field of grass
Poor little lonely one room school
So long ago since it’s had class
...
