Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

A robust return to a 'then' that has diminished...
Complete with backyard barbecues,
And Sun drenched bathers.
Sitting along the family pool,
...

The only case they have,
Should be a 'suitcase'.
Packed and ready to carry.
And/or dragged behind them.
...

I do hope things work out alright,
For those who cling onto their fantasized insights.
Those who impose upon themselves and others,
Restricted wishes...
...

I want to feel,
I am on a mission to forgive...
And let live as is.
I want to feel this.
...

Each day we live to witness,
Has its own identity.
And each day we see begin,
From Sunrise to Sunset's end...
...

Do you realize how many poems I've seen,
That you have written?

'No!
...

Doesn't it become increasingly easier,
To berate instead of participate...
In correcting that which has taken place,
In a devastated society.
...

Minds burned out.
Thoughts displaced.
Those who fell asleep,
Awakened...
...

Variety may be the spice of life...
For those who can choose,
Whether or not...
To have beans and rice,
...

Listen!
Not one time,
Have I not been on your side.
...
