Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

They wish to define soliloquies,
As a dramatic monologue...
Spoken in a reflection,
By one who rambles in prose.
...

Throw them back to the wolves.
The ones released from cellblock envy.
Throw them back to the wolves.
Those who love their crime defined.
...

Everybody's pawning all their bling things.
Trying to live today on just a shoestring.
Giving in ain't easy for one thinking...
How will they survive,
...

How can an evaluation be validated,
When it has not been delivered...
To invalidate the vapidity of the validity?
Or the qualifications of the authority in question!
...

An effective ineffectiveness,
Has kept you sufficiently...
Ineffective as a test.
...

I am no politician.
I am direct.
Every blemish and flaw I have,
I accept without regret.
...

An attempt to stop the bleeding,
Of their own blood
Now dripping significantly in drops...
Appears to be futile!
...

Do you know who you are?
That is a good sign.
So many don't!
And I am sure by now,
...

A peek was set to catch.
Quickly slipped by a glimpse giver.
Cruised at first to tease.
Laid to seek a heat.
...

Just a grouch.
Shouting and pouting about.
Chasing happiness,
And those who are away.
...
