David Whalen Poems

Santa’s lookin for
hookers…flyin’ all over
yellin’ “Ho Ho Ho”
...

If you want to have
pleasant discussions
Talk of friends, or nature…
or fishin’
...

If I could but somehow…
Roll back time
Could I once again
Feel your warm breath gently brush my ear
...

Problem dark? …Blessing
Brighter? …oft-times written words
Outlive the writer!
...

Don’t give me gifts
For I have no need

Give me, in their stead
...

A bat and a ball cost a dollar ten
The bat cost one dollar more than the ball.
Pray tell, how much does the ball cost?
How quickly the answer seems to fall!
...

Premise:
All roses are flowers
Some flowers fade quickly
Some have stems smooth
...

Confidence, …‘shrinks’ tell us
is only an illusion
Reflecting only, the facts and feeling
At, and of, a particular time
...
