Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

For decades.
'D' With 'cades'...
Decades!
The homeless and those hungry,
...

I am not alone in consciousness.
With many who are also aware,
Of what does...
And what for them,
...

When there's a meaning to a pain,
It can make a better life.
It will enrich with understanding coming,
To pay attention to a need.
...

When you find that you've been saddled for a ride...
Move your hoofs.
When you find that you've been saddled for a ride...
Someone's got you hooked!
...

In the making of the whole.
In the making of the whole.
My peace within,
Has been earned...
...

What is in the minds of those,
Who believe they can organize an event...
A week or two before the event is to take place.
And then left to be disappointed,
...

Opportunities to be relevant,
Are often missed...
When those relying on myths,
And nursery rhymes,
...

You told me to go jump in the lake!
And after doing so,
I had a taste to demonstrate...
A desire to learn,
...

I wouldn't want to be a pharaoh.
Not today.
Not at these prices to pay.
...

Ointments.
Moisturizers.
Facelifts and tummy tucks...
May slow the appearance,
...
