David Whalen Poems

An instance in introspection…
A pause in the passing of the seasons
As if Nature rested and reflected on it’s feckless design
Resigned, supine, upon it’s random reasons
...

Let’s make all future wars
A disappearing act…
with a brand new
entertaining twist…
...

Some poems
like people, plans and knives
...

A breath of diamonds

First take a small diamond
Then proceed to heat it until
...

Come out of the shadows
Where you wait patiently
Come take my hand
So I’ll not be alone
...

It’s easy to write
Poetry What’s not easy
Is to write it right
...

I’m afraid I’m losing them
Things that slip
through fingers and mind
...

Afloat and adrift
In the “blue nowhere”
Amongst nebulous nothingness
Yet anxious to share
...

Six locks on my door!
Why not just two or three?
You really wanna know?
I’ll tell you so!
why that works so darn well for me
...

Have I, in recent days…
made you sad
Perhaps brought tears…
To your eyes
...
