Marilyn Lott Poems

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
...

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
...

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

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
...

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
...

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

It's time to make a list once again
Of the goals we'd like to achieve
Our hopes and wishes of tomorrow
For we always must believe
...

How I do enjoy so much
This wonderful life of mine
I travel down the red dirt roads
That make my life so fine
...
