Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Only passing set tests.
With a hope correct answers,
Were approved as best.
Gets one further in schools.
...

Does it really matter,
Who gets picked to sit in halls of fame.
Does it really matter.
And to who or whom,
...

Many believe it when they hear,
'It Is Never Too Late'.
To discover before others,
That a 'Never' for them does come.
...

Some with assuming minds misunderstand,
Their involvement when in conversation.
Await they do to interrupt but not listen.
Refusing to digest comprehension.
...

To be a rebel has its benefits.
Always on the prowl.
Is the rebel.
Seldom does a rebel quit to sit.
...

Understanding done is not difficult to achieve.
It should not be thought of as a task.
Or a test to pass the last of one's patience.
Many miss the opportunity to comprehend.
...

Cherry pickers high riding booms to pluck.
To get those tasty cherries.
In pretty bowls.
...

There are more than not,
Living lives more diverse.
Than many who have chosen,
To live within fences.
...

Pointless it is and useless.
Time with energy consumed.
And serves ultimately a wasted purpose.
To put a spotlight on the obvious.
...

Soggy.
Those drenched in tears.
And appearing shocked to have it happen.
Although they have fed this feast.
...
