Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Keep 'em big...
Baby.
Keep 'em big.
...

You're sophisticated!
So sophisticated.
Too too 'fisticated'
That you can't relate..
...

I want to be the first poet,
To be declared an artist.
How's that for trips?
...

Slam!
Feisty baby!
Ka'bam!
Feisty baby!
...

Things we do
Have changed too...
Like you have done T'Ana.
First to shine and sparkle bright,
...

Mistakes?
There is a difference,
Between those deliberately made.
And those created with a premeditation done.
...

When determined people,
Pray to God to have their way...
And God sends to them messengers,
To scream from bullhorns...
...

You complicated...
A basicness of life,
We lived.
...

Go away...
You heartbreak sender.
We're mending inside,
And we don't need repeats.
...

I want to choose my element,
As music.
And select you to be,
Within each lyric that's composed.
...
