Marilyn Lott Poems

The sunset was like a fire-sky
That truly lit up my world
Clouds were orange and yellow
Like a paintbrush making swirls
...

He is a Buffalo of distinction
As he lumbers on uneven ground
He knows that he is special
The handsomest beast around
...

A lonely little house
Built many years ago
Is deteriorating now
I thought you’d like to know
...

When certain holidays come around
I have often noticed it is true
It’s all about the chocolate
It is for me, now, how about you?
...

Nothing brings more cheer into the world
Than a spring full of joyful flowers
After a cold and dreary winter we have
Warm and refreshing showers
...

Once again, Easter is nearby
So much has changed hasn't it?
Piling on one after another
From our childhood till we quit.
...

Our religious feelings are private
What we believe is what we choose
Many degrees of course occur
Loving God I feel I can't lose.
...

Okay, it hasn't been perfect
I have to tell you so
But I suppose it's normal
For the way that marriages go.
...

So much there is that is bothering me
I really needed to pause
To have a chat with God, you see
For whatever was the cause.
...

How I remember Grandma’s cookies
As I came into her home it was nice
To smell the fragrance of them in the air
I detected chocolate, oatmeal and spice
...
