David Whalen Poems

FACETS
By being there…
When no one else was
You showed me what love looks like
...

Sail away

Cast off those hawsers
That tie the spirit to the quay
...

Pay Attention Part One

Your eyelids begin to flutter, shy morning light yearns to peek in
Savor that fleeting moment between worlds
...

Pay Attention Part 2 (listen with your eyes)


Pay attention!
...

The Man At The Bar


I saunter toward the bar of my neighborhood tavern
...

Good ‘Ol Summer Days

Fireworks, hot dogs, hide and seek in the dark
Slope shouldered willow tree, by the lake in the park
...

Sad, Saggy Saga

Ninety three year old lady,
sad and bereft
...

Signs of the times in the good ‘ol USA

G.E and G.M downgraded to letters of the alphabet
People living out of their Hummers
...

I don’t belong here
It just doesn’t feel right
Seems like I’m out of place
Lost wanderer, alone in the night
...

When you read a poem
That I have written
I hope my tome
Will leave you smitten
...
