New Year's Concert Poem by Herbert Nehrlich

New Year's Concert

Rating: 3.5


It wasn't Lorin Mazel, of course,
how lucky can one get, I ask.
Some wanker from the provinces
he stepped up to the plate.

Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra!
You cannot go beyond, above.
And here I am, so far from home
a couple tears roll down my cheeks,

it's Johann Strauss and company.
It cuts too deep, and hurts no more
than music ever was designed
to do, and after all, I am just me.

This poem reminds me of the sensitivity we as poets share within ourselves! Nicely written Herbert! I wish I was there to enjoy that experience! LSP
