Herbert Nehrlich Poems

I have not seen,
nor dreamed
that YOU could be
a being,
...

A rooster, feathered and well fed
was sitting on his waterbed.
He swayed and felt some vertigo
the cause of which is hard to know.
...

Like silken hair
with sparkles
in the light of
glow-worms.
...

....and while he was resting his
tired head on her belly,
having his feathers ruffled
ever so gently Hawk was
...

A friend of mine,
just had a Christmas Premonition.
His Auntie saw him drowning in the sea.
The woman now observes it only was a dream,
...

At the shopping centre.
I saw Santa.
Jolly old man he wasn't.
Body Mass Index about 50.
...

As the eagle soared
sharp eyes observed
life itself, as it moved
under cover of leaves,
...

There's talk about an Avian Flu
a lot of hype yet not a clue
about the real chance it will
come with a vengeance here to kill.
...

From under light pink silken gown
arose, his silly face a grin
Rudolph the red-nose circus clown
and asked about a nip of gin.
...

I know I would have liked the man,
his facial features show him as he was,
a man of genuine humanity,
it's one who always can
...
