Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

You've attached yourself to me.
For purposes you choose to keep...
Discreet and secret.
And unconfessed.
...

Groves of Pomegranate with implants,
Of Lilac scents.
Fill the air misted with Cinnamon,
And Lavender fragrances.
...

Freeze.
Get on your hands and knees.
Where is the cash stashed?
And your valuables?
...

I have three sisters.
Each I adore.
With seperate aggressions,
Too tiring to explore.
...

Isn't it much easier,
To sit back and critique?
Than it is,
To have your neck on the chopping block...
...

Saddled on the back of a steed she is.
Moistered from a heated sweat.
She wishes to tease as she rides.
Butt naked on hilltops.
...

Do, get away!
From those player haters.
Stop that nagging that attracts,
The backbiting of braggers...
...

Oh ceepeep!
A moodah coodah.
Hop pop.
Boo shob ah lot.
...

No one expected him to be as qualified as he is.
They believed his leadership would be a joke.
Although his intelligence was cleary there when he spoke.
...

A capitalistic way of life foreclosed,
Has put an end to values claimed.
That treasured piece of the pie grows mold.
And standards proclaimed can no longer be maintained.
...
