Herbert Nehrlich Poems

I think about you,
now and then,
and then
again.
...

She said it, yes she did.
One little word for me,
which would, and could
wrap peace and harmony
...

I must, to stay within the zone
keep down the electronics
Conduction through my funny bone
sets off those histrionics.

to man, by little messengers from God,
whom children know as proper angels;

So much pure selfishness, worn on the skin.
He saw the world as something of a zoo,
the one they built a wall through, in Berlin.

sudden death caused by atrial fib,
let us hope that it works as some folks are hell-bent
to vote Caribou Mom (I ad lib) .

of doctors, pharmacists and fools.
But, in addition there are those
who use fine poetry and prose
...

with much wisdom, both in it and on it.
But while walking near trees
I saw millions of bees
...

Well, no, my dear, no lemonade
I'd keep your body in the shade.
And feed you through a yellow straw
eggnog (in which the eggs are raw) ,
...
