Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

What is in the minds of those,
Who believe they can organize an event...
A week or two before the event is to take place.
And then left to be disappointed,
...

Opportunities to be relevant,
Are often missed...
When those relying on myths,
And nursery rhymes,
...

You told me to go jump in the lake!
And after doing so,
I had a taste to demonstrate...
A desire to learn,
...

I wouldn't want to be a pharaoh.
Not today.
Not at these prices to pay.
...

Ointments.
Moisturizers.
Facelifts and tummy tucks...
May slow the appearance,
...

I use to believe,
Those who leeched...
Were not threats.
Well...
...

Duels between thieves,
Eventually have to happen.
A source to go where thefts are made,
To ensure quality craved maintains its taste...
...

None of my children,
Have resulted from adoption.
I know them.
I was instrumental in their creation.
...

Rarely are those of deed doing,
Heard or seen flashing a résumé around...
To impress those within listening distance.
Or found searching to pass,
...

I want to hold you in my arms...
With one thing on my mind!
A holding of 'you',
In my arms.
...
