David Whalen Poems

I didn't really know my father
Until It was far too late
He reached out so many times
To engage me…but I couldn't wait
...

Let's walk a little
Rest a Lot

Look about a little
...

One never thinks that dawns…
Crystal clear and golden
Are not forever
…When one is young…
...

Each time I first post
a newly written poem
I feel deep regret
that I’ve done it in haste
...

I was never one for my kids to look up to
That's a stone cold fact that I'll always regret

I was never the best dad, for them to hold on to
...

One can’t know happiness
Unless one knows about sadness
One can’t know about pleasure
Without knowing of pain
...

Lazy cat on the windowsill
Watching curiously
The people passing by
...

Recipe For My Poetry:

! Cup of release from reality

Rend a hole in time
And space…Watch all the other
Dimensions spill through
...

No such thing as lack
Of inspiration...just of
Imagination
