Herbert Nehrlich Poems

The Farmer's Market, by the tracks
was where you'd buy from hornet's wax
to octopus and chestnut pie
all things that would be, to a guy
...

And when time after time
they grow lemon and lime,
which makes thinking sublime
and leads poets to rhyme
...

Once upon a time
there was a meeting of
all the animals
in the forest.
...

On deck I stand and have my arms
propped on the railing of the boat.
...

A Fence or an Ambulance
by Joseph Malins (1895)
-a poem about prevention -
...

Cherryblossomfresh
this word describes your bosom.
My eyes were grateful.
...

Sleep does not come in silent nights
while thoughts of my dear Fatherland
buzz through my mind like moth-kissed lights
as if my tears could understand
...

The fly was in the belly yes,
and found therein a frightning mess
the fly was anxious to get out
so he flew wildly all about
...

As one who often cares
for people
who suffer from
some terminal diseases
...

It's the peppermint twist
and those were the days
it was dark when we kissed
in the Black Forest Haze.
...
