WELCOME BACK, ROGER

WELCOME BACK, ROGER

Roger A. Davis


Doc Roger, I assume!
Many thought you were Doom

For many months, surreal Tomb
Recovered now, I presume

Webpage sabbatical, yes
Life choices a mess

Yet poems produce, I'll confess
Individual, full of encouragement and jest

So welcome back, Roger Reader
Again a webpage prose Feeder

His time, a Hallmark Greeter
Healing daily, God's Grace, filling the Meter

REMEMBERING THE SOLDIERS

REMEMBERING THE SOLDIERS

By Roger A. Davis


Where haven't our soldiers given up their lives?
Foreign and domestic lands, heard their battle cries.
Front lines or rearguard,
Waiting for their return; It was hard.

November 11th, 1918, World War I,
Historically, it was done.
“In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row.” (1)

Doughboys, GIs, and today's Armed Forces,
Make obedience to defend us, their choices.
Today, it is our honor to remember the fallen.
With prayers and tears in thankful solemn.

For the living troops, we should,
Express thanks and say, “All is good.”
For our Nation, they are the vanguards of peace.
24/7, their diligence, does not cease.

The heroes are laid down to sleep.
For, The One Nation Under God, their souls He keeps.
This day and those that follow,
Be victorious, so their sacrifices are not hollow.

(1) Lt. Colonel John McCrae: an excerpt from poem,

"In Flanders Fields."

ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG

ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG

Roger A. Davis


Red, White and Blue,
I'm waving at you.

Old Glory saying, “Armed Forces, well done.”
And cladded coffins, “An honorable burial you've won.”

Hand across chest, civilians do.
The uniformed at attention, give their due.

Upon your flag poles, here I fly.
The Anthem sung, with a background of the sky.

For each state, a star I display.
Citizens of the U. S. A., unfurl me on this, Flag Day.

Comment for all under my Domain,
“Hold true to the Allegiance that you proclaim.”

GOOGLE GALORE

GOOGLE GALORE

By Roger A. Davis

Everyday I trip to Knowledge Park
Voice command – “Find: b-a-r-k”
YouTube, a visual arcade
Wow, music from me and Peggy's decade

At the top, Matterhorn; panoramic view
Alps deadliest peak, for beginners - taboo
Key word: jump; Whymper, the first to scale
Illustrator, also frolicking hill and dale

This is how it is done
One thought, let it run
Type or speak
I've become a Google geek

Before going back to Homepage
We have to visit the Wikipedia sage
The Who’s of Who and Whom and What
The Oz of Adventure Land? Toto mutt?

Behind the Veil, contributions of bios and ad links
Presented in blinks of eyes, vendors of trivia drinks
Want to work on your car. Instructing; PC pad isn't far
Fix the sink or how to the roof; tar

Now, for some, this is old hat
Games are where they’re at
At a young age, I read the alphabet books
Now I've discovered the planet: Hooks

From it's gravity I can't flee
Everyday, the bait is more tasty
I cast my role as the Thinker
I'm a Hookian: A Big Bang Stinker
