Herbert Nehrlich Poems

It was as if my trusted hand
had sought and reached autonomy
and snapped that old familial band
then wandered off, just to be free.
...

A single dragon
can slay a lot of people,
with halitosis.
...

Lenchen's reply to Hawk:

Come dance with me
Through heart tangled bracken,
...

Ineptness rears its ugly nose
for all to see, it does expose
itself regardless of the host.
And he who fears the shame the most
...

...and was the dream reality?
A giant hall, with gold cathedral ceiling,
assembled were onehundredthousand beauties.
Three had surrounded me, stood very close.
...

He is all of those things
and descendant of kings,
he would steal lie or cheat
in an effort to meet
...

Going down Lindsay Road,
the usual speed, boxer four,
family wagon from the crowd
in Hannover, that's where they build
...

Silver coins piled on the table
just enough to get him through
nights of sleeping in the stable
working daylights with the crew.
...

In case you people do not know
don't say I did not tell you so.
The devil has a nasty cousin
who fathered, by himself, a dozen
...

Weighty words of trusted bible notwithstanding,
the objects in some eyes cannot be seen
by bold observers peeking, beyond closed lids
nor from the inside of those bible-bashing friends.
...
