David Whalen Poems

Why dreams? …
Why not
soft surcease instead?
...

The spectral glow of a bobbing lantern
As if tossed upon a stormy sea

Appearing..then fading anon, absorbed
...

<center>
The incredible superpower
of the aroma of bacon frying
And the pungent scent
...

I Pod Therapy (thank God for my I Pod)

Sweaty pillow, overfull bladder
Three A.M., wide awake,
...

I Mighta Been a tad snookered

I remember you dimly
Through the fog of Jack Daniels
...

I’m goin’ to tell this story to ye, if ye can keep it a hush
Since I canna’ be telling’ me friends
Twas the Saturday past, I drank a wee too much
Before me usual trek home thru’ the glens
...

Lost in the bayou!
It was funny at first
To an adventure lovin’ youngen
This wouldn’t be the worst
...

Could you just imagine
the lack of imagination
If men had to buy presents
And pretty them up with decorations
...

You’ll always be short of something
You’ll always be needin’ this or that

You’ll always be yearnin’ for what you’re not earning
...
