Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Everything they have ever wanted,
Was not only right under their noses...
But sent them daily reminders,
Of its presence and the benefits...
...

You've turned your back on me?
Not once but on several occasions.
And...
Am I suppose to be offended?
...

I've decided not to be reminded of my griefs.
I've learned that carrying a baggage of sorrows,
Only weighs on my back...
Unhappiness to be left to be repeatedly monitored.
...

The guests are due to arrive,
By the end of the week.
Do you think we can,
Get the new furniture, remodel the house...
...

You've recently made a decision
To do something on your own
Something you knew should have taken place
Weeks ago
...

Once a mistreatment,
Of trust has been discovered done...
That's it!
All the drama in the world displayed,
...

Remember those days
People were granted to give
Their unsolicited opinions
As if given a spotlight
...

Whatever it is that you've been told...
As the dew drops mist,
Each morning that unfolds...
Mother Nature to this is committed.
...

Clearly you have made this understood,
Identifying to recognize creativity...
Is not a part of your neck of the woods.
...

Why is it,
That the more one does...
To do for someone to get done,
The tasks one shows to do to prove...
...
