Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I spent five months,
Recuperating...
From threatening life diseases.
Six weeks of total isolation,
...

I bought thin breasts of sliced chicken.
Thinking I would make a chicken soup.

So I then cut the breasts,
...

There is nothing more difficult to change,
Than a baby's diaper!
Those who have gone down and dirty
To knock out smells...
...

First pre-heat the oven at 350degrees.
Take approximately 3lbs of fresh haddock,
Season it..
With a compound seasoning of salt
...

I don't wanna lose nobody
When I say this.
I don't wanna lose nobody
When I unball my fists,
...

I wish I could see you.
Even though in my heart,
I know you are there!
I wish the touch we shared and knew
...

I saw a Bluejay in November.
Chest puffed and looking out of place.
I saw 'it' look through my front window
And in the backyard 'it' sat on the fence!
...

No one should have their hands out,
Pleading to feed themselves.
Too many today live in total gluttony! ~
And troubles we have are blamed on someone else!
...

On the surface,
We are close!
Friends mostly,
Out of necessity!
...

Just because I write,
Don't think I'm lightweight on my toes.
A few got that confused...
And found themselves with bloodied noses!
...
