Lawrence S. Pertillar Meaningful Poems

Meaningful treasures...
Are meant to be kept,
Expressed and there to witness...
As if specially selected,
...

Actively listening.
With an intent that is not passive,
To grasp understanding...
Also enables one to become more observant,
...

You turned an intimate relationship,
I wanted to have with just you...
Into a competition.
And from the moment we met...
...

Purposeful it is...
Respecting to listen.
Both entertaining and educational,
Is the sharing of this with others.
...

If years have been spent investing in garbage.
And the nurturing of it has been conscious.
Why are there complaints from anyone,
That the reeking smell of it.
...

Life is too meaningful.
Too precious an experience,
To waste or quicken it.
Each moment of it given...
...
