Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Sliced bread...
Whole wheat and toasted.
Buttered with jam,
And munched.
...

Even when warned...
People will choose to walk,
Down the wrong streets.
And do the complete opposite,
...

Ignorance displays,
Never to have been disciplined.
In an obvious number of ways.
And when ignorance is supported,
...

Do not fool yourself with beliefs,
You have the power to prevent another's progress.
What you do is further cement your own defeat.
And in time your stagnation,
...

From the environment,
Does one get those first impressions.
And some of them like a gluing stick.
As a termite chews hidden,
...

When you give me your love...
Give me 'that' love,
You love.
Give me that love you say,
...

You came my way,
And I loved it.
You wish with me to stay,
And I love it.
...

They come in droves to protest any plans,
To have dumping sites for garbage...
Half way houses or rehabilitation centers,
Constructed near or where they live.
...

Your suggestion...
That I do 'something' to encourage jealousy,
To get 'some' emotion felt from my spouse towards me.
Did not go as plan.
...

It is too late to find me frisky,
And in a puppy love for you.
Those senses of mine have been jaded.
And in stages to someday fade.
...
