Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

They are afraid to be discovered,
As imbeciles!
So to avoid this exposure...
Laws were amended.
...

Refresh, revive, renew...
And declare yourself,
You!
Detached and removed,
...

There is something to be said about those
Who believe they can solicit themselves
Into obtaining attention, notoriety and fame.
Having little talent for what it is they perform.
...

They are well disciplined.
They appear to be happy and healthy.
They are ambitious...
With wishes to enjoy life.
...

Just because a mouth is constantly open...
Doesn't mean expectations should be raised,
That anything worthwhile comes out of it.
Would you trust one known to gossip...
...

Release them from their mental cages.
And unlock and free them from their self inflictions.
Too much of their debris has created obstacles.
And those who are now awake,
...

I know there will be many,
Expressing their thanks and gratitude...
On this, a holiday
To those they once knew,
...

Let's make this clear,
Between us.
What you wish to do,
At the expense of my time...
...

When I first,
Saw you...
I thought my heart would stop,
Beating!
...

When Autumn comes again...
No one seems to want Summer,
Close to come to an end.
And when Autumn and leaves fall...
...
