Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Look...
It is what it is!
When did you begin,
To acknowledge that fact?
...

I can not imagine my life without you.
It's like hopping on one leg...
After I've been using two!
Or kissing with one lip.
...

When I write,
I do my best...
To incite an insight!
Some may not like.
...

I did not say one thing about your diet.
Do not try to throw that guilt trip on me!
What I did say was 'perhaps'
The grass is not getting enough Sun.
...

How can anyone take you seriously,
When you are not punctual?
This meeting started three hours ago.
And there is not going to be a review,
...

I know I've grown.
Had I not...
Mother Nature would not stop me,
Suddenly with her beauty.
...

Easter.
Bunnies and colored eggs.
Pastel shades,
And folks dressed for church.
...

You know I can't stop trying being more for you.
And wanting to be every part of the life,
You live too.
...

If there is anything I've ever done,
That has not been true to the gift I was given.
And represented to invoke the growth,
And the understanding of it.
...

If you are one of the ones,
Still attempting to make sense...
In a world depleted of it?
You have my condolences.
...
