Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

You'd like to realize your dreams.
And you seek from me and others,
'Sound' advice you wish to uncover.
...

The different twigs on rooted trees,
If noticed...
Expands concepts of possibilities,
If approached...
...

I was once invited to participate,
In a seminar.
To discuss the effects of racism,
Conducted many miles away in an isolated
...

You have been a highly acclaimed person,
For a number of years.
And yet you do not appear to be on anyone's radar.
Very few people know who you are.
...

Tuesday came and gone,
And I was still in Summer.
Wishing the Autumn breeze,
Would drift away with the winds!
...

Ignoring rumors heard,
Purposely to disturb relationships.
Done by those sitting on fences,
Loving to enjoy...
...

It takes...
More than gifts of talents.
It takes...
Getting up from a sitting down,
...

If nothing has been ever done,
By someone who has stated...
A life they live has never been fun!
Well...
...

Limits have been reached.
Keeping secrets is so passé.
White lies are just lies.
Whether they are wrong or right,
...

There are those who have chosen,
To go out of their way...
With a doing kept believed,
To pick on someone else they perceive...
...
