David Whalen Poems

Vampires, Vampires, Vampires

Put vampires in your writing
These days it’s all the rage
...

Out of work, Not much of a future
My life seems to be for the birds
Got no specials skills, life’s in the sewer
The only thing I can do is “words”
...

True, but little known facts

Our eyes are always the same size from birth
But our nose and our ears ne’er stop growing
...

Everything lacks perfection
In the smallest particle there’s a flaw
Imperfection is our protection
Imperfection’s an immutable law
...

Their World, Not Ours (free verse)

Watching the doves and chickadees
From my patio,
...

Ode To Bouncer
...

<center>
A crescent moon, sharp enough to prick one's finger on
A Sun that could sear one's eyes
Clouds buoyant enough to float away upon
...

Just Wonderin'

Where are you today Lord?
There are so many children cryin'…
...

I didn't really know my father
Until It was far too late
He reached out so many times
To engage me…but I couldn't wait
...
