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
...

Grandma’s hands are worn and weary
Wrinkles certainly tell her age
As she sits and studies them
At this old and tired stage
...

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
...

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

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
...

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.
...

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
...
