David Whalen Poems

Hold tight the night
Embrace the dark

Lit only by Luna's
Lambent spark
...

Like to have something
Different for dinner tonight?

Tired of plates
Full of the same old thing?
...

Rain rings spreading wide
Like liquid blossoms opening
To the rise of April's tide
...

Dawn's light…bone white
a sky seeming void
of all color
Breath fogging into the air
...

I see ghosts…
Ghosts in my grand
And grandkid's eyes
...

Just a touch of Springtime
Only a spritzle or a pat

That's all of Spring
...

Of what would Spring be
Of what pleasures to see
Were it not for the words
Of a poetic potpourri
...

It's out of your hands
Beyond your control
No matter your demands
No matter your goal
...

I'd rather eat a
Chicken's nest…than eat one more
Skinless chicken breast
...

Goodbye my old friend…
Seems I hardly
got to know you
...
