Herbert Nehrlich Poems

Young Celery said to the Corn
'you were so small when you were born,
why is it that you grew so big
and on your ears you wear a wig? '
...

'I must say that today
the biological enemies
are microscopic and
submicroscopic.....'
...

It was so tight, he could not know,
if there was room to get inside.
Might need to have another go,
he didn't want to scrape her hide.
...

Deep in the forest, on two logs
were perched two rather handsome frogs.
The logs were pretty close together
and served as shelters for the weather.
...

In the twilight of the morning
before the razor woke itself,
I dreamed that all of us,
with no exception, were searching
...

The highest levels
of resveratrol,
a miracle substance
available to consumers
...

You see in troubled skies above
bizarre-edged Ebenezer clouds,
a fluffy-feathered steel-gray dove
just soaring into distant doubts.
...

They talked about it,
all night and then
the day that followed.
It was a question
...

The sign said COLD ROOM in bold letters.
The hometown cemetery needed
a storage place for the departed
to rest their worn out bones three days.
...

...and if YOU are the crust
and I am the filling
I would think that you must
be so ready and willing
...
