Herbert Nehrlich Poems

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.
...

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

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,
...

You came into our lives,
I can still heart the patter
of wrinkled feet, so soft.
You could not stay
...

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