Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

A squirrel threw a 'nut' at me.
It didn't want it.
Neither did I.
It was too overdressed.
...

In the days gone,
When I took for granted...
My life.
And the ease of complicity,
...

You want to gain...
What?
Fame, fortune and wealth?
To feel you are above everyone else?
...

'We have come together today,
To express the results of our findings.
And to announce,
We have discovered without doubt...
...

From the shallow shopping days,
Of Christmas spent.
And gifts selected...
To induce an increased seduction.
...

Don't you think it strange,
That the ones you once regarded as 'crazy'...
Are today doing their best,
To avoid any contact with you!
...

She taught high school.
With the eagerness of a beaver.
Breath sweeten with peppermint.
With a quick wisp of her preferred beverage.
...

Thank You,
For the flowing of my blessings...
Dear Almighty!
I am neither rich,
...

I can't get myself away!
Whatever I do or say...
It's you!
Who gets me with your karma.
...

Fresh are these days of awareness.
The spicing done to fantasies,
Seem totally ridiculous.
Escaping exits to explore escapades...
...
