Lawrence S. Pertillar Smart Poems

They scare alot.
Those smart young people.
Who seem to know more than they should,
When others do not.
...

The people who have found an interest,
In the pursuit of that which is loved AND liked...
Are thought to possess an intelligence kept.
And labelled to be smarter than the rest.
...

There is a style that emerges,
When one applies a skill.
When one devotes both time and loyalty...
With determination that motivates a will.
