David Whalen Poems

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

You’re never quite free
From your kids..no, no! !

No… you’re never quite free
...

The answer’s not in
Jesus… nor is it in booze
The answer‘s in….You

...

Speaking of shopping…

My wife is the best
shopper in town
...

An errant breeze
Carried the sweet scent
Of Honey locust blossoms
...

Just a few facts
that should make you want to cry…
Four thousand per cent markup
On each bottle of water you buy
...

It was crystal clear
At first

Then developed a haze
...

A faint tintinnabulation
of a small boat’s bell
Moored within Monterey bay
...

A gaze within
A look without

At a blur of a throng
...

Leave me in the cool tall grass
With my back against a tree

Tilt my head back a bit
...
