Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I have an idea!
Let's all pretend,
What is happening,
Isn't.
...

Chasing the sounds of a remembered flute,
And not choosing a route from where to begin...
Can be unsettling for the one undecided,
If it was a piccolo used with an octave higher.
...

Solutions and delusions both,
Have a common connection...
To the existence of a reality resisted.
...

Give me another hit.
I'm going to stay with it a little bit.
I'm in the midst of this to win,
So...
...

On their own terms,
People have a right to do and choose...
As they please.
This should not lead to an argument.
...

They are right.
Standards and values have been ruined.
A quality of life has been slipping down the drain.
Nothing depicted as a wholesomeness,
...

You hooked me with your looks,
And also cooking, 'bay-bee'.
Your speciality is baking sugar cookies, 'bay-bee'.
And a tasting of your cookies,
...

When people start making listening,
Prioritized as their agendas...
Misunderstandings,
Which now have no benefit...
...

One style.
One preference and one frame of reference.
One mindset sold to sell one concept bought.
One thought processed to stay one way,
...

I want it known...
I didn't appear here,
To be absent from view.
I want it known by you,
...
