Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Sometimes people do make mistakes.
I've made some.
And who has not made a few?
But not knowingly at the expense of others.

Games of dodge ball and hide and seek.
Wishing to be tagged with 'come-hither' coyness.
Like children believed to be cute and sweet.

None of us would experience life,
without the act.
...

Very few still left that are there,
Who care and dare to admit it...
Had hopes to prevent,
A successful undoing...
...

It is time to wrap up all the nonsense folks,
And doing away with all pronounced pretentiousness.
Many will find this difficult to do.
But the doing of it,
