Marilyn Lott Poems

The house was a sad and pitiful sight
When I saw it on I-40 as I took a drive
I was shocked the moment I saw it
It didn’t look like it could possibly survive
...

I drove to town this sunny morning
And right before my eyes
I saw that spring was here
It was a glorious surprise
...

Standing up isn’t necessarily easy
There is always a chance we take
When strong thoughts are fashioned
Along with statements that we make
...

He wasn’t someone you’d want to see
While walking along a path
For he may not like humans too much
Might even take out on you his wrath
...

As a child we often dream of flying
In the air so welcome and free
Just like a bird we will become
Floating like a cloud above the trees
...

Crunchy leaves beneath my feet
Tumbling to the path
Storms blow through as autumn comes
A taste of nature's wrath
...

There are many kinds of cowboys
I think that this is true
Excitement of a kind they need
Perhaps that describes you
...

They were amazing to see
Drawn by an adept hand
Sunrises and sunsets
Shining down upon the land
...

I always start out with a kettle
A good sized pan for me
A cutting board and knife I need
I chop very carefully
...

Life is hard, it always has been
And we struggle with so many things
We feel over-whelmed sometimes
For what our daily life brings
...
