Marilyn Lott Poems

Have you ever watched wild Geese
In a lake as the sun goes down?
The darkness creates ghostly shadows
The colors are black and brown
...

I was headin’ for the Lucky 13
And it was a relaxing day for me
Those ‘ole red dirt roads
Took me past some spring-time trees
...

Just drifting by were these folks
Horse saddled and ready to go
Adorable little colt was ready too
On a rope led behind in tow
...

It seems like only yesterday
That mom carefully hoed the ground
Making rows long and straight
She was the best gardener around
...

They were so beautiful, these ladies
Just like the movie stars
For a selected beauties chosen
That were truly the best by far
...

My church is made of Sandstone
So beautiful outside and in
I take each Sunday seriously
As I address my daily sins
...

From the emerald rolling hills
Dotted with meandering sheep
To the treasured Sweetheart Abey
I can see it all in my sleep
...

This time of year always brings
Many remembrances back to me
My family gathered closely
Singing carols by the tree
...

I think of my garden as stair steps
I will explain to you why
It starts in early springtime
Except for one, I don't know why.
...

Don't you think winter is magical?
Such beauty you love to see
Oh yes, sometimes it is a problem
But not in the world that is for me.
