Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

It is said absence makes the heart grow fonder!
Some experience amnesia during these times,
And not only have been found in states of euphoria...
But hoping that the absence produced,
...

There is a major difference,
Between wanting to do things...
And getting what is wished to do done!
...

When people are taught to assess others,
Like property and other things that lose value...
And judged on the basis not of trust...
But how folks look,
...

The name doesn't describe a gorilla.
Or startle with facts,
Like an action drama that is also a thriller.
I can get quite silly when pronoucing my name...
...

She would offer us crumpets.
Minerva Pinkston...
Once part of a jet set!
Holding up both hands to announce...
...

Are my two balls
Too big for you?
When they are exposed and admired...
Do you become ashamed
...

Has anyone seen my robin here?
These seasons have been too quickly changing...
And no robin this year appeared.
Has anyone seen grapes on the vine?
...

Jesus came back into my life.
But I had to get myself ready...
This time to make things right.
...

When you cry...
Are you feeling mislead?
Wondering why as you sigh,
How you got where you are...
...

Man...
I love my greatniece.
One of three sisters,
Born in the middle.
...
