Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Baby...
We all have awakened to have those 'maybe' days!
With a feeling of 'maybe' we will.
Or 'maybe' we wont...
...

Stand up or be randomed,
If there is a wish...
One desires to have recognized,
To bring upon an attention...
...

They wanted to see him fail.
With a failure that would prevail.
And when they were done,
Their efforts had won.
...

With fantasies enriched,
And lives protected...
By the foolishness of censorship.
One aided by religious beliefs,
...

Believe it or not...
I walk a path,
On a journey...
I have never taken before.
...

Give it to the can!
Paper or plastic bag it.
Set it out on the curb,
For the garbage man to come...
...

There is a stage of life,
When the connection to it...
Should inspire an acknowledgement.
And those of us blessed to be human beings,
...

Once one stops objecting,
To lessons needed to adjust to this life...
And begins to learn from experiences,
With a growing insight that produces more light...
...

This morning,
Like none other seen to dawn...
The air is fresher with a crispness sniffed.
And the sky so clear,
...

Have you ever had a taste of cake,
So remarkable...
As to not leave a crumb on the plate?
...
