Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

You came,
When the trees began their budding.
You came,
With the Spring to start your buzzing.
...

Sugar snap peas,
I plant thy rods.
To enable your journey...
With tentacles to grab tight.
...

Under the shadow of those shallow,
They follow.
Loyal and addicted.
A sickness they have lived with.
...

They're not here to revisit,
The gaslamp.
They're not living to revisit,
Those cobblestone roads.
...

We must fight...
With a resistance,
Against the darkness.
...

Travel on!
My brothers.
Travel on...
My sisters, fathers, mothers.
...

Summer winds.
Soon they will be gone,
And
Fall begins.
...

'Be proud of your accomplishments done.',
This I would say to anyone.
Too many sit prepared to criticize.
And despise an attention someone else gets.
...

Strength in leadership,
And commitment to rhetoric...
As the dollar value slips.
Leaving harder times to come and exist!
...

Why do some camels have two humps,
And others one?

'That's a good question!
...
