Marilyn Lott Poems

The sky was oh, so beautiful that
I wish you could have watched with me
Brilliant and breathtaking colors
Exciting for the whole world to see
...

He pulls the noxious weeds
Of our Montana summer place
His shirt and shorts not matching
And I smile at his time-creased face
...

Fall comes and is quite beautiful
The colors are lovely and bright
A chill is in the air now
The evenings quickly turn into night.
...

Our world is so divided now
I suppose it's always been
But folks are angrier it seems
So much hatred now and sin.
...

So many times it seems that
We feel very empty and alone
We may have feelings of guilt
And we need to somehow atone
...

Looking into old boxes
Tucked away in old chests
In the attic or storage rooms
Are treasures I love the best
...

I took a walk this morning
It’s kind of like in spring
The weather starts to change now
I love what autumn brings
...

It was out from the tall grass he came
Listening and watching everything
For it is haying time once more
Creatures large and small it brings.
...

It happened one day, it was right after noon
Quiet it was, I said not a word
For all of a sudden on my flowers nearby
I heard the whirring sound of a hummingbird.
...

I know that you don't like poetry
But son, I really must
I know you don't want a party
With all the hoopla and fuss.
...
