Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

As a Dove I flew,
Without concern...
That my wings someone had clipped!
...

Against the tremendous magnitude,
Of 'this' part of the universe...
We will continuously pursue,
With persistence...
...

Love and deceit,
Can not meet to greet...
Happily under one roof.
...

'Mister Pertillar,
Based upon your 'experience'...
What makes you qualified,
To fly a 747? '
...

Hey...
Back up!

You are good to suggest,
...

When at first I was introduced to it...
I must admit,
I felt bare and naked.
...

If you want to wear those shoes,
Put them on.
There is no agreement of purposes,
In the first place.
...

My ferret sees a therapist,
On Wednesdays after sipping tea.
I thought it best to seek out counseling
To help me adjust to her personality.
...

Psychotic are their problems.
Big and small ones hidden over time.
They did not have to keep them wrapped up.
They chose to medicate them,
...

Let's be honest about this.
The one true enemy we have,
Is our self obsession.
...
