David Whalen Poems

Colours are just colours
One might suppose
Rage is red…
But then again…
so is a rose
...

I wish you could have read…
The Letters
that I failed to write
...

Old sepia photos…
Tear on cheek
Catch in my breast
Chin in my hand
...

Goodbye Socrates
So long Pericles

Ta-ta Sappho
...

Not choosing at all
while still a choice…is just not
The very best one
...

Whatcha’ gonna’ do
When your mind
Takes you
...

Always with me
Never strays
But better seen
On bright sunny days
...

Gentle poems
Simple rhymes

Relics now
...

Have you the will…
To do nothing?
Have you the courage
To let Nature take it’s course?
...

No more calluses on my hands
No more aching back

No more punchin’ in and out
...
