Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

It is easy to pick up and leave,
For...
Those places envisioned in one's mind,
That are traveled and far away.
...

I have all the support I need...
For those weaknesses upon me that feed.

I wish an acceptance for my strengths!
...

When people can not accept direction...
They live their lives in denial and rejection.
And it is difficult to remove from them...
A mindset they within live in!
...

Like a brisk fresh brook,
Through a forest flows...
Unstoppable and clear,
When one is near it they can hear.
...

It's not ironic that I'm simple.
And prefer simplicity.
I've found a basicness that's easy.
And it suits me beautifully.
...

They want their leader to fail.
For reasons not as obvious,
As demons who tell tall tales.
Demons who wish,
...

Does it really make a difference,
If carpenter ants or termites...
Are responsbile for the effects,
Of a crumbling structure known?
...

Wouldn't it be nice,
To live a life...
Just the way we wanted it.
And those we dismissed,
...

Yes...I am old fashion,
When it comes to looks!
Looks mean nothing,
If communication doesn't happen.
...

Blemishes are like opinions given.
They are exposed for what they are.
To either accept or reject them.
Something eventually is corrected.
...
