Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Why should I paint you a full picture,
When the giving of a scent will provide the hint...
Of every detail.
Saving me time.
...

Alerts to avert impending disasters,
To prepare those listening to be more aware...
Are never given their just due attention.
People facing the naturalness of them,
...

Please.
Can you assist me?
...

Making it all up,
As they go along.
Most children do that.
Pre-fabricating,
...

Exceptions made to created rules,
Has established the need.
For a Department of Addendums.
Making the following of rules,
...

It continues to amaze,
How those voices that raise.
Their outrageous demands,
Are given a patient ear.
...

It is extremely ingenuous,
To make false statements about another.
Behind one's back.
Then to contradict with a love for someone,
...

Everyone living life,
Needs a little taste.
Of whatever for them will excite.
With a prioritized attention given.
...

What annoys me most,
Are those folks who instigate.
The ones who assess others,
As doing 'nothing' for them.
...

Those that thrive on inconsistency,
To justify an absence of competence.
Make themselves more obvious,
Without comments made.
...
