Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

This process has progressed,
Far beyond the gossip stage.
And with evidence not confessions made.
For those who know,
...

Tolerable...
Forgivable obscenities.
And outspoken exploits,
Embellished as if...
...

More high on new lows.
Has begun to show,
The accepted depths...
Those are willing to go.
...

What is success?
That to debate,
Will always be left...
To perception.
...

Simone Biles!
Queen of gymnastics.
Making what has to be,
Difficult to achieve.
...

I use to lament with regret,
Decisions made wished to change.
Until I began to notice,
My growth in accepting...
...

Better is the luck that comes,
If one thinks of it as fortune.
Deserving to get,
Given not by chance.
...

What is said to perceive,
A joke.
In jest to mock.
Nonstop.
...

The best of evidence,
To produce and see clearly.
Is the kind to uncover,
Even those who lie can not deny.
...

Uninformed and easy to manipulate,
Are the many who chase rainbows...
If told the doing,
Will eliminate their aches and pains.
...
