David Whalen Poems

Clouds gathered in the southwest
Hastening the early darkness
Given to this early time of the year
A few flitting silhouettes
...

Small kids…girls and boys
Should not have to live in worlds
Without joy or toys
...

I awoke last night
In broken heart city
I had a dream last night
But didn’t dream it was true
...

No longer am I…
Someone’s valentine

And no longer…
...

Oil on troubled water
Grease on squeaky wheel

Quiet as a mouse am I
...

An ol’ buddy proudly showed me
his new hearing aid

And advised me to invest in
...

Will this be
The last Spring
I see?
...
