Marilyn Lott Poems

Did you ever get so close to a cow
You could feel her warm breath on your face?
She continues chewing her cud thoughtfully
As you spend quality time in her space
...

There was a lady in my life for years
Who was so very dear to me
One day I had to say good-bye
She was on her death bed, you see
...

I wish this was my backyard
For it’s the perfect place for me
It’s beautiful and quite amazing
And it’s filled with tranquility
...

It is old and in disrepair
But for many years was strong
Folks gathered within its walls
As they sang sweet holy songs
...

It was fluffy like cotton candy
As lovely as anything I'd seen
A snow-scape when I awoke
Was exactly like a wintry dream
...

Pumpkins in the pumpkin patch
Their colors bright and bold
Biting frost on everything
As a transformation unfolds.
...

Father Flannigan is responsible
For a special home for poor men
He had a heart of gold, you see
And that’s how it all began
...

I'll bet you've never gone
To a Kiwi type of farm
It's really quite an experience
So unique with all its charm
...

You know, there are many folks
When they see a cotton gin
Can say, "I remember that...'
Telling stories from way back when
...

Uneasiness filled the air
As a stranger rode into town
Tension was stretched so thin
It was felt by everyone around
...
