Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Out of all of the recipes listed,
I may have heard of a couple of them.
The rest?
I've never heard any of them mentioned before,
...

It seems more than not,
That something blown out of the box...
Starts over nothing.
To leave one's peace disrupted.
...

There is a difference between truth and deception.
Deception can be ignored to eventually go away.
But not too far.
Deceivers like to stick around to recruit.
...

I stand to walk,
From a crawl.
That's why I remain,
Confident.
...

Your tactics used,
Are old and have been seen...
To be used too many times before.
The only difference is this...
...

Born from souls,
That within me sit.
My thoughts are connected.
And this affects,
...

Keeping it up is tough.
And it's not easy.
Many are found wearing their frowns.
...

Inconsistencies affects one's trust.
Inconsistencies in what one does,
Does not strengthen credibility.
Or lead others to believe,
...

Why do you stay all up in my stuff...
Feeding?
As if to nurture from my thoughts,
To take and twist.
...

When Mother Nature is angered,
Doesn't it seem her punishments...
Are not random?
...
