Herbert Nehrlich Poems

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.
...

In the middle of the night
Robert woke due to a fright.
Something hairy had appeared
in his dream and Robert feared
...

There once was a lady named Kane
she lived in Northcumberland Lane
she was a bit fat
and regrettably flat
...

I love the early morning so,
a time when dawn arrives
on velvet feet,
when owls retire
...

I had, for reasons of expediency
done all my chores, took out the files
to weed old wisdom and the silverfish
out of my life, it had been overdue.
...

The dreadful scourge of leprosy
no introduction necessary,
blows clouds of poison gas
a warning to us all, do keep away.
...

A bumblebee had hitched a ride
by hanging on the starboard side
of Russia's pride, the Aeroflot
right near the engine where it's hot.
...

It is a bit shocking,
to have a dream
that is nothing,
not spectacular,
...

Some day she says that she will find
a panty hose to fit her waist.
It's not so much that cute behind,
its contours having been erased
...

How wonderful to have,
in our new street,
kind neighbours, friends in spe,
some came and helped
...
