Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I can be a shadow on anyone's wall.
But I can not do that,
Reflecting my own light.
...

I need someone,
Too...
Show me the love.
...

I need to be there.
And not subject myself to riddles.
Just be there,
And put to rest...
...

Some handle scandals,
Like they've had them before!
As if to manage handled scandals.
...

How legitimate can contributions,
Of a poet made can be?
If comparisons are made to another poet,
Who spoke from a time...
...

Challenges are many.
And those balls some juggle,
Are greater than most.
...

Game players become hooked,
Until mesmerized...
To the playing of a game,
That remains the same unchanged.
...

What do I plan to do today?
Absolutely nothing.
But of course,
In the nothing done that I will do...
...
