David Whalen Poems

There’s two things I know
That creates smiles and warm glows:
Halos… and banjos! !
...

The genie is out of the bottle
Has stolen out into the night

Pandora's box is become unlocked
Things will ne'er again seem right
...

<center>Would you like to go with me?
Perhaps better not… to go!
I go into the woods at night you see
Neath Winter night's Moon glow
...

<center>I like to watch old people
And imagine how they were
In their youth
...

<center>Your children only hold your hand
For a little while
Before they push you away
...

A million kisses
To the Moon
A thousand toasts
Of Summer wine
...

My diet's not working
It's easy to see
And my waist isn't
Getting any smaller
...

In torrents of emotions
Are humans destined
To dwell
...

I keep a notepad
On the nightstand by my bed
To jot down thoughts
that late at night, fill my head
...
