David grew up in Mexico. He brings a unique perspective to life in rural Michigan. Most of his poems are written spontaneously, as things catch his attention or humor him. Some of his pieces are lighthearted while others broach deeper subjects.
Coffee, DIY projects, and writing are his passion. Most his poems are structured, but he does enjoy writing free verse writing from time to time.
A day away, carefree
A day away, yippee
Not getting dressed
This day's the best!
And I am filled with glee
A day away to be

Oftimes it is this way
Goodbyes are the hardest
Of things we have to say

And many fill the tiers
Of those who run beside you
Collective listening ears

Hustle, bustle, ready to start
Hustle, bustle, do your part
Ready, ready, beyond...
My life is changing fast, it seems
And gone are old, familiar scenes
My heart, once steady, will careen,
I'm losing those on whom I lean
