Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I am not out seeking,
To crush your feathers!
Nor do I wish...
With my own ambitions,
...

The need is gone,
For me...
To hold onto,
My past.
...

What better day is it than today,
To trash and put out on the curb...
All disturbing nonsense.
Every single bit of it.
...

Sleigh bells ring,
Are you listening?

Christmas approaches.
...

Tolerant?
I am accused of not being tolerant?
This has got to be something filmed,
On a candid camera.
...

So pathetically crazed.
From day to day they contradict their ways.

They wish their safety,
...

Slowly I get the feeling...
I love the way you move.
Gee baby,
And your attitude...
...

Chill,
Relax.
Refrain from overtaxing yourself,
With an outside heat...
...

If today is not the time for it...
Then where is the minute within that hour,
That the challenge comes...
For those living to witness something soon,
...

I am the reward received from God's deeds done.
I am the reflection of His 'work' and achievement.
I can not allow myself to produce less than my best.
This would disfavor the love I am given from Him.
...
