David Whalen Poems

With gathering wonder
I take within my eye
an ocean of diamonds
And rainbows that hold up the sky
...

The visage one sees
And wears forever
Changes appearance
In the absence of light
...

Vague and spectral
as a dimming taper

Limned in darkness
...

Stay honest…stay true
And I’ll always be there for you

Be loving…be kind
...

A recent poem by Chumfo asked
“Where do plants go when they die?

I’m not sure what to answer
...

The sun cracks at dawn and shines
Clouds thunder, rumble and cry
The wind wails, whispers, and sighs
And Rainbows hold up the sky
...

So how was your Wednesday 10/13/10?
Did you get out of bed safely
Drink your coffee
and then
...

Write a poem every day
don’t let anything get in your way

No inspiration? So what the hey?
...

My momma was a good person
But could also be a dumb ol’ witch

She never saw the irony in…
...

Dusty shelves within our minds
Dark labyrinth of passageways
Memories stored like aging wine
Where we keep… all our yesterdays
...
