David Whalen Poems

I have made a life plan
Just as everyone should

I plan to live forever…
...

Get married real late in the morning
That way when things start going astray

There’ll be no real cause for mourning
...

If you have doubt
Of where you’re going
If you have little pride
In what you’ve done
...

Breakfast is special to me
It’s a meal supremely suited to my solitary reflection
that has a more special, culinary cachet
...

Have I overly rhapsodized lately
On Mother Nature’s displays?
I’ve become rather forgetful
With the passing of so many days
...

Mayflies in
the cool Spring night
Rise from rivers to catch the light
...

I’m the presence you sense
when there’s no one around
I’m the whisper you hear,
when there is no sound
...

“Women should rule the world”
At least according to my mother

She said if women ruled the world
...

I hate to talk
about ugly kin
But I had the butt-ugliest
lil’sister
...

No person is worth your tears
No one should make you sigh

The one who is truly… worth your tears
...
