Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Those peaceful nights for some have passed.
Those feeling safe...
In sheltered communities behind closed gates.
Are awakening.
...

When you finish,
Your swim in the moat...
Cross that draw bridge.
Lock it and leave.
...

And here we are,
Making demands...
As if we expect to have them met!
...

That's right.
I can provoke the slow pokes.

I tell folks...
...

I agree.
I am not an easy read!
To lay in your head.
Or am I?
...

I confess to the experiencing of many things,
Since my birth on Earth.
Curiosity has been a main attraction,
From my mind I can not detach.
...

Revealing who sits in pits with demons,
Is currently being exposed to those...
Who have accepted being ignored and opposed,
And this has not pleased...
...

Thank you for your comments.

Sunny...?
Always think of yourself as a work-in-progress.
Once you believe your have become a 'finished product'...
...

I am often humbled,
By those expressions made
Regarding my thoughts...
With any impressions,
...

Giving in may,
Not be a benefit.
Giving in may,
Just be an excuse to quit.
...
