Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Memories I keep,
Are detailed and available.
Today I enjoy keeping them fresh.
...

Those motivated,
By the ninety-nine percent movement...
Should be commended,
For this stance they take.
...

We've come to a dead end.
And to retreat now,
Would be our own declaration...
Of being self defeating.
...

You bartered for guaranteed luck,
To fill up to the rim...
Your carried and prized cup.
...

You fascinate and illuminate,
With such an arresting sensation.
And...
Whatever that is done you do,
...

Sip it as if kettled like a soup.
Then grade it,
Homemade.
And...
...

The best way to avoid misunderstandings,
Amongst those heated in debate...
In your presence.
Is to not be the one who is quick to volunteer,
...

On a daily basis,
Mother Nature is underestimated.
De-valued and unappreciated.
And given little if any respect.
...

That deep stuff is not enough,
To cuddle up to places within you...
I exclusively wish to be invited to touch.
...

Is a vacating of one's responsibility,
Okay just to label as immature?
Who endures the consequences?
...
