David Whalen Poems

Another new year!
Another new beginning?

Will we get this one right?
...

When I’m feelin’ low
And my spirits are sickened

When my energy’s sapped
...

<center>
Sometimes tis better
to not know the answers
Better to not know
...

<center>
Why does life have a way of shrinking a man
Why age-wrinkled necks look like turtle skin
Why spend so much time in memory land
...

<center>
…There, but for the grace of God go I…
Is a thought I oft used to think
As I cast a hasty, judgmental eye
...

<center>
The incredible superpower
of the aroma of bacon frying
And the pungent scent
...

Lost in the bayou!
It was funny at first
To an adventure lovin’ youngen
This wouldn’t be the worst
...
