Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

If there were degrees awarded,
For those earning diplomas in 'Incompetence'...
Few would question its existence.
It would be an established acknowledgement.
...

Many people living all alone are finding others,
Having the same druthers...
And preferring nothing else,
But to live by themselves.
...

You've done everything possible,
To get what you wanted.
And you did that.
Incorporating some of the most,
...

You want me to listen,
But you don't or wont.
You want me to listen,
But you don't!
...

After decades of declaring created enemies,
They wanted others to believe...
Were full of jealousy and envy.
With a doing of awful things to themselves,
...

'They have renamed an organization you founded.'

I am almost shocked.
...

A deed to do that has been done,
Is best left to be discovered...
Than to await to get approval,
By those who will debate...
...

When you feel it in your gut,
Something is not up to snuff...
Just leave it alone.
...

Every new beginning,
Proves to advantage with benefits.
And those letting go of that which is old,
Do it to not reminisce what is missed...
...

If I knew what tomorrow held in store for me,
My kept wishes and hopeful dreams...
Would not stop my wanting,
To adorn them with additional accessories.
...
