Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I am familiar with them changing the rules,
Each time I near the goal line.
And each time I near the goal line,
They are the ones finding themselves...
...

As things get old,
We recognize them then...
As old.
With sentimental...
...

You gotta get up,
And get away...
Boy.
The beating of the streets has aged,
...

I've made so many errors and typos in my work,
To leave uncorrected.
They've become looked upon,
As clarifying those suspicious about this...
...

Beauty can be depicted,
To become one's replica...
Of a perception of it.
...

I find people delivering their best humor,
When expressing what they know...
In vivid depictions,
About someone else...
...

I can have wisdom AND knowledge,
With proof to show I do.
And be willing to volunteer my time away,
To those disrespecting I had valuable information,
...

You know what this is about?

'No.
What is it about? '
...

Doing something done,
From the goodness of one's heart...
One should not expect a return to be given,
Reflecting neglect and disappointment.
...

Please don't say you understand,
Because you couldn't.
And I know you don't.
...
