Marilyn Lott Poems

It was the first day of winter
With hat and coat snug and tight
Outside my booted feet crunched
For it had snowed all night.
...

Do you ever watch the sunset
And just sit and think about things
Just you and the sky and darkness
Giving your thoughts some wings
...

Did you ever get so weary
That you think you can’t go on?
You reach inside yourself
To find a part that may be strong?
...

Oh what fun when it snows
It's a little boy's delight
To tromp around in snow knee deep
His world so crystal and white
...

I trudged my way across the land
I tried so hard to take a stand
Doing what the good book said
Sometimes veering off the road instead.
...

It was a buffet to remember
With a lovely Hawaiian theme
Food so fresh and flavorful
It was truly a food critic's dream
...

The 13 colonies were the beginning
Of the beautiful country we know
Folks gathered from other places
To find a new place in which to go
...

I’m so thrilled about my day
And I’d like to share it with you
It’s Sunday once again
I have a date with God, it’s true
...

The life that I have lived as a poet
Has always messed with my head
It doesn't matter if I'm busy
Or lying nearly asleep in my bed.
...

He was just a little kid
In a kid’s kind of world
Examining the places
Where the red dirt swirled
...
