Herbert Nehrlich Poems

The ladder was still there.
Leaning, as if worn
and ready to retire now,
after those decades
...

I am aware that
this is asking
a bit too much.
Perhaps it is
...

Those who will not reason
'Perish in the act;
Those who will not act
Perish for that reason.'
...

New Year has come, two-thousand-six,
it desperately needs a fix.
The biggest known deficiency
is what we call omega-three.
...

Man who ran in front
of car got really tired.
And they were Dunlops.
...

IV. Sonett
O dieses ist das Tier, das es nicht giebt.
Sie wußtens nicht und habens jeden Falls
- sein Wandeln, seine Haltung, seinen Hals,
...

What if the world
was made up of
the lovely people.
I could name names
...

A vibratory instrument
more often used in early Lent
due to the rising of the sap
that Mother Nature has on tap,
...

'Twas early morning at the Holy Vatican,
the Pope was making rounds of his small kingdom
Most of the rooms were lavishly appointed
with oriental rugs on all the floors and walls,
...

Would someone please tell
why a terrible smell
tends to follow no laws
and ignores eehs and aaaws
...
