Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Where do you go,
When the Moon is full and glows.
As the stars twinkle against clear skies.
Where do you go?
...

Everyday those same voices heard increase!
Everyday.
And they.
Don't go away.
...

What would be the point,
If a blade of grass...
Was not meant to feel,
Its importance?
...

The approach to it has been,
And still is.
Extremely basic.
...

Keep it proper!
You never know on you who might peep.
When you do a thing discreet.
You never know on you who might peep.
...

Cry,
Oh my!
Bye-bye.
When a favorite just disses you.
...

Whatever you do and the reason being
Don't excuse it for some other thing changed you'll do.
Get one thing done.
Not for me,
But for you.
...

What is taught,
Is believed.
From birth
When received.
...

There are so many things I have learned,
About survival and life and healing from pain.
I've learned that those who ignore,
Others doing their best to painfully survive...
...

The teaching of one accustomed,
To hiding in the shadows
That a reaching for stars,
Will lift a broken heart
...
