Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

If one wants to know,
Who or what it is...
On the otherside of a closed door,
One has to knock not to stop.
...

From pen to then 'pewter' put...
Is how I does to do my writin'.
From pen to 'pewter' put...
Is how I does to do my writin',
...

Pain inflicted to let sit.
To believe if ignored,
It will not spread to be felt...
As an epidemic to manifest and exist.
...

What on Earth,
Are you people chanting?
And to do it at 'my' doorstep?
...

One's competence and excellence,
To accept...
Is difficult for those,
Seeking preferences to be met.
...

I will think about that for you.
So you don't have to.
Why some people do the things...
They choose to do.
...

People who have found their comfort,
With a paid incompetence to maintain...
To feel they have made it with others to boast.
Have reason to believe they have achieved success.
...

Whatever the intention of this World had been,
God made it.
For our benefit.
And whatever the intention of this World had been,
...

Some live to learn.
And then begin to comprehend,
With lessons they grasp.
To then eagerly seek to teach.
...
