David Whalen Poems

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
...

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
...

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

No… you’re never quite free
...
