Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Are my two balls
Too big for you?
When they are exposed and admired...
Do you become ashamed
...

Has anyone seen my robin here?
These seasons have been too quickly changing...
And no robin this year appeared.
Has anyone seen grapes on the vine?
...

Jesus came back into my life.
But I had to get myself ready...
This time to make things right.
...

When you cry...
Are you feeling mislead?
Wondering why as you sigh,
How you got where you are...
...

Man...
I love my greatniece.
One of three sisters,
Born in the middle.
...

Use to being lonely.
Getting use to being the only one,
One thinks about not having someone...
To think about,
...

Looking at them,
Anyone would perceive them to be...
Adults.
But listening to their conversations...
...

To find in your rebuttal,
A commenting on my debate...
With my issues extended,
By your interpretation...
...

Why is everyone alarmed and up with arms?
I don't understand.
What is there to disbelieve?
A re-enactment of their individual capabilities?
...

Controversy and the raising of eyebrows,
Produces the same affect
From those who prepare to protest,
The reading of an epic
...
