Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

A collective of unions,
Of one
Is being done.
...

Quiet!
Why can't you stand and observe this,
Like everyone else?
...

Stylish.
Impeccable taste.
And that shows in her public appearances.
Flawless diction.
...

The missing of someone taken for granted,
Is not easy to overcome.
When it is clear the feeling appears,
With the wish that person was close and near.
...

I am told I have a way with words.
I am encouraged when I hear that said.
I remember listening to my father talk.
And when he would sing...
...

Some may choose to rush through life,
With a seeking done...
That reflects an absence of appreciation,
To anyone or at anytime shown.
...

There are those who accept life,
Only from their perception.
And if it is not within their eyesight...
It simply does not exist.
...

Yes...
My credit is bad.
It has been for a long time.
But guess what?
...

There are some of us who have a right to be outrageous!
And completely crazed by lives lived chasing materialistic dreams.
Trying to express a happiness by the acquisition of things...
Brings heartbreak and remorse.
...

One man is clearly brilliant.
While the other is fairly clever.
However one has scars remaining...
In a mind still clinging onto war.
...
