Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

My succotash is so bad!
It's the best you'll ever have.
My suc-co-co-co-co-co-co-co tash,
Is bad!
...

We've all seen them rush,
To meet and greet new guests.
With impressions made.
And in fresh dress...
...

To rush is to stumble.
What walking is to crawl.
And lips 'eventually' shut quick,
To someone told they know it all!
...

A sweet peach eaten down to the pit.
May keep that pit sitting,
In one's mouth a bit.
...

Soon...
Closed eyes awaken,
As dawn breaks.
A replacement shakes up misunderstandings.
...

Don't 'ask' that your sorrows be removed from you.
Demand that they be removed!

Don't look at your obstacles as if they are impossible.
...

Although the museum had nothing on exhibit...
The people not believing this,
Would still come in droves to visit.
...

If you wait too long,
Something will go wrong in your lifetime.
Hesitate,
Believing this eliminates it...
...

Goodbye to our lives lived in disguise.
And goodbye to all deceit.
We might have known those masquerades,
But above that now we reach!
...

'I thought you did not like me.'

Oh?
Did I tell you that?
...
