Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Relate,
With any interpretation...
That gives the best description,
You wish to have depicted.
...

Would these be betting odds,
That an asking of someone...
Who has done something in their life,
For more than 'sixty years'.
...

It was seen coming.
Yes it was.
Yet...
Many did choose,
...

Why is it,
That someone will waste their skills...
And talents,
With a wish to perform with the giving of their gifts...
...

Bring on the hot topics,
Afraid by others to mention or touch.
Bring on those subjects,
That disturb the ones...
...

Anyone that has made attempts
To take it upon themselves to choose or decide
They are going to direct someone's destiny
By using methods to destroy a life as it should be
...

When did the saying to someone 'No! '
Become an invitation to annoy without end?
I can understand why some parents
Have become immuned to listening
...

Undermining has always been a trait,
Of those envious of others' deeds.
Conflicts have initiated over images raised.
Only to be replaced,
...

Why is the house burning down?
Do you care to repeat that?
...

Don't approach me
With your making of demands
I am one of few who believes
Having notoriety
...
