Herbert Nehrlich Poems

I'm looking forward with dismay
to this year's coming Father's Day.
You see, my son in USA
says Father's Day, there is no way
...

When one is down inside oneself
and has some hidden gray agendas,
when cobwebs of the inner mind
do not conceal the rancid secrets,
...

Oh, what a dream!
You drooled all over me.
You couldn't get
enough.
...

I do hate thee
and count the ways.
you hide inside
a toxic haze.
...

And not a single hair was out of place.
A face so stern and utterly composed
majestically he walked the walk. His last.
Let no one say he let them have the pleasure
...

If Tadpoles did not change their spots
to join the world of frogs,
if useless debris turns to clots
and jams internal cogs,
...

A line of cars - about nineteen,
had stopped behind me.
No obstacle was to be seen,
you ask 'why should this line be'.
...

For those of you who like their beer
I'm writing what you need to hear.
The vitamins B-six and two
are present and so good for you.
...

I see myself in the Jacuzzi
but not with your average floozie.
As I like some pizzaz
I may yet ask Mahnaz
...

In the twilight hours
in the life of a man
when the spirit sours
as it must, 'cause it can
...
