David Whalen Poems

Poets…storytellers
Of love…life
Keypads and notepads
Happy kids…cranky wife
...

Driving while intoxicated
Drunk with the smells and sights
Of yellow Oak trees and red maple leaves
And golden harvest moon nights
...

The anonymity of Online poetry…
Is a blessing in disguise

No one knows the size of our nose
...

Palms of hands
Tips of fingers
Takers and givers
Touchers and squeezers
...

Plan out your future
Put your ducks in a row
Put your life to a schedule
And reap what you sow
...

Rivulet of red
Cold hard stone

Sharp smell of cordite
...

Tonight I’m inspired
By my lack of inspiration

I’m inspired to write
...

The rest and the best
Of life yet lies before you
So many things to see
So many things to do
...

Two short lines of wisdom
Just two short lines of advice:

You don’t need a parachute to skydive
...
