Herbert Nehrlich Poems

She was, for many moons,
the velvet cover of the portals
inside my heart, there was,
majestically, the grand aorta,

lived there with family of ten,
in roomy hollows of decay
and she remembered back to when

Glow little worm glow little worm
fly through the night,
blow all the candles out
always glow bright.
...

Inside the box of cypress pine
(they say that worms won't touch the stuff) ,
exactly at the dot of nine
six friends from school, who huff and puff
