Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Over a deal to purchase a football team.
People of notoriety,
Have elected themselves to use the media,
To demean.
...

Slip me a witch and be done with it.
Then give me a hee-hi-ho!
Let's both benefit from this wickedness.
Then slip me a ho-to-go!
...

O' tigress of those veiled temptations hinted.
Your slow prowl eases,
To goose bump my laments.
...

What can be done,
About the failures taking place...
In a system that allows,
A disgrace of education?
...

I've made comments.
And sometimes read more,
Of your work.
I may or may not give what I read a rate.
...

You don't think I am being fair?
Because I am not there,
Upon your request.
And arriving as if I am out of breath?
...

I agree with you.
However...
What is recognized that 'should' happen,
At this hour...
...

Don't be my love,
Only when you feel it.
Feel it wherever you are,
My love.
...

Who you knew and what you knew,
About who and why back in the day.
When back in the day was...
Well,
...

Is my back you say you watch,
Still guarded by your protective eye?

Why do I suspect your whispers,
...
