David Whalen Poems

I tried a new diet
nothing but coconuts and bananas
But I soon found
it wasn’t for me
...

I desire fame and fortune
I deserve
somewhat less
...

With women I always strive
To be frank or earnest

I always try
...

Powdered gold of pollen
Hanging lazily in the sun

Shaken loose from pungent blossoms
...

My Front Yard…in Las Vegas Nevada

A hostile environment
A parched arid place
...

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
...
