Herbert Nehrlich - For Her

There was
a time
where laws
of rhyme
did stand
for class
demand
a crass
niveau.

I've felt
the need
to belt
indeed
those rhymes
and post
for dimes
at most
also free verse
and other styles
with care I nurse
that which beguiles.

The down to earth
and lovely bird
must have from birth
each day have heard
the music for
our poetry
forever more
she'll sing for me.
