Herbert Nehrlich Poems

Human nature is what it is.
Although hers is as bad as is his.
In the forum you'll find
those who stab from behind
...

At last I've made it
to the roof of
our crazy world.
No higher goal

I have been tugging
on the strings of your heart.
I'm thinking of mugging
(which may not be smart) ,

You can't cook with it.
It won't clean you.
Useless for dishes.
Goldfish don't like it.
...

Like a dog with no tail
and a house with no doors
and a ship with no sail
like a pimp with no whores.
...

A raindropp off the Matterhorn
was in the heavy clouds just born.
It fell and tumbled from great heights
enjoyed, while falling, splendid sights.
...

It rang again just now,

or just a fluke at 3 a.m.?
Maybe we should,
...

I think that as the body ages
it's just like turning many pages,
one at a time, and not too fast,
so that we don't forget the past.
...

They were simple daisies,
picked in the Park at Dawn.
Not up to standard, though,
traditionally, the expectation
...

A single ray of sun was peeking
through dusty drapes in my old flat,
downstairs the landlord's hussy shrieking,
she was as dumb as she was fat.
...
