Herbert Nehrlich Poems

I am a drifter, I am insane
came back from Heaven,
here to complain.
Had to clean hallways
...

In Minnesota, town of Boyd
the Devil made the hemorrhoid.
You see he didn't like the way
that God rewarded those who pray.
...

It was as if my trusted hand
had sought and reached autonomy
and snapped that old familial band
then wandered off, just to be free.
...

Lenchen's reply to Hawk:

Come dance with me
Through heart tangled bracken,
...

A single dragon
can slay a lot of people,
with halitosis.
...

Ineptness rears its ugly nose
for all to see, it does expose
itself regardless of the host.
And he who fears the shame the most
...

...and was the dream reality?
A giant hall, with gold cathedral ceiling,
assembled were onehundredthousand beauties.
Three had surrounded me, stood very close.
...

He is all of those things
and descendant of kings,
he would steal lie or cheat
in an effort to meet
...

Going down Lindsay Road,
the usual speed, boxer four,
family wagon from the crowd
in Hannover, that's where they build
...

Silver coins piled on the table
just enough to get him through
nights of sleeping in the stable
working daylights with the crew.
...
