Herbert Nehrlich Poems

A pair of Colorado boots
were walking over bracken roots.
Wild pigs had covered the terrain
and caused the bracken so much pain.
...

And who will remember
the day in September,
when the terrorists struck
and New York went amuck?
...

My horse had bolted at the flash
of lightning, amplified by thunder.
The saddle bags contained the cash
I'd stolen, welcome to Down Under.
...

And see the boy,
how big he's grown
once like a toy
of flesh and bone.
...

It is a small challenge to rhyme
your undoubtedly pretty first name
I would give you a rather clean dime
in an effort to share with you fame.
...

Well it's Chelsea Marie
so how could it be
that I found not a word
like a featherless bird
...

I stood and watched
my daughter's birth.
A tuft of hair
salt of the earth.
...

A roach came from his hiding place
and went straight to the freezer
he opened it, stuck in his face
when suddenly the geezer
...

Betrayal walked
with crooked feet
in total secrecy,
surrounded by
...

Tear out the stuffing of your soul
it needs not healing but more pain.
Who says forgive the devil's deeds
has never felt self-pity's needs.
...
