Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

What determines a classic?
And how does one become qualified,
To pick one out from a pile of trash?
Is it a value of a standard idealized and wished?
...

It is neither recommended, advisable or suggested,
To take someone's willingness to give for granted.
Or to perceive their doing of it,
Is something from you they wish in return to get.
...

Sometimes the best thing one can do,
After witnessing someone fall from a stumble...
Is to give them a few moments alone.
Let them quickly pick an excuse to make.
...

The best gift one can give,
To another who is claimed to be a friend...
Is straight up gut wrenching honesty.
Although the friendship might end,
...

There is one thing,
Those with immature minds...
Do without fail,
When they allow denial...
...

Give me the rough stuff,
Take away the fluff.
I have had enough of...
Those sweetened beaten bushes,
...

Too many just take too much time,
Disliking directions others take...
To make decisions to live their own lives.
And captivated some become,
...

I apologize for the many interruptions.
You were saying...
Something,
About my being obnoxious, rude...
...

What are you doing...
Riding high on your horse.

'I am hoping to find 'someone',
...
