He's nothing like Hannibal <br />but so human an animal. <br />His poetry shows <br />that the blood within flows <br />with a steady noblesse, <br />not designed to impress <br />but a man of the word, <br />neither warrior nor nerd. <br /> <br />The reason this is early is <br />the old Alzheimer and a very early day tomorrow.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-very-happy-birthday-for-jerry-hughes-poet-extr/
