Herbert Nehrlich Poems

She talked about my latest offerings
as if they had with eager little feet
rushed over to her Lazyboy Recliner
to climb up on her lap and talk so sweet
...

There once was a lady from Greece
she suffered from badly worn teeth.
Her incisors were loose
she was long in the tooth
...

Just like your beautiful long hair,
my thoughts have now become entangled,
inside my mind, so many years
have passed and they will never leave.
...

I'd teased the Bull so many times,
all grown-ups warned he might get loose.
His heavy chain assured me of
my overwhelming power then.
...

She floats.
Above old shingles
and windswept tops
of lonely trees.
...

And who I ask you academic minds
would find the eyes of cows attractive
most humans would consider putting blinds
to cover bovine faces, though they are pro-active
...

The stem had fallen off
lay on the ground.
All petals drooped at first
but saw no choice.
...

There once was a student named Chase.
He could never diminish his pace.
As an athlete he aimed
to be winning, not framed
...

Maples, proudly
showing
scarlet leaves,
in brazen wind.
...

We humans are facing
a dangerous moment
in our history.
An industry
