Marilyn Lott Poems

We travel down our own path
Do what we have to do
I know that I function best
In my element, how about you?
...

"Cousin It" I call this tree
Though Fig Tree is its name
If I'd had this tree as a kid
I would not have been the same.
...

I think for most of us throughout the day
We simply do what we have to do
Whatever our work is, we try to do the best
In whatever daily routine that we choose to pursue.
...

They planted the seeds
All over the place
And soon there was
No longer a space.
...

What happened to summer?
I know it was here
I hung up my clothes
But can no longer I fear.
...

I'm afraid that it may be the final
Of my Sweet Pea bouquets
It sure makes me sad
Though I really can't say.
...

What makes a mind stumble
And fumble in rhyme
It seems like it happens
Most all of the time.
...

I won't say that life in the country is perfect
That isn't possible anywhere
But when you put animals into the mix
They show you how much they care.
...

When I was a little girl about six or so
I loved to climb the trees
I looked carefully at many of them
To see if they were right for me.
...

They look like rowdy little children
Upon the school playground
If you listen quietly
You will hear their sweet sound.
...
