Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Thank you for your comments.

Sunny...?
Always think of yourself as a work-in-progress.
Once you believe your have become a 'finished product'...
...

I am often humbled,
By those expressions made
Regarding my thoughts...
With any impressions,
...

Giving in may,
Not be a benefit.
Giving in may,
Just be an excuse to quit.
...

It is fresh if kept,
Away from that which spoils...
Those attitudes,
Quicken to darken by a mood.
...

I see on the horizon,
The lifting of mist...
From a fresh morning dew.
...

To vent obscenities,
Seems today to be in vogue.
And just yesterday,
My expressed embitteredness...
...

Those remaining,
In the playing of their silly games...
In a sustained immaturity,
Find themselves wishing to undo...
...

Intellectual property.
Often to be claimed stolen,
From the ones who are...
Skillful plagiarists.
...

What I have done,
Personally...
To ensure the new neighbors,
Adhere to policies that have been in effect...
...

Those who get upset by racial slurs,
Have come to expect it and can't let it rest
They seem to be those who prefer and choose,
To insult and offend themselves.
...
