Talmadge Rogalla Poems

The strobes pulsated,
Quickly flashing,
I was handsome,
I was dashing.
...

The morning broke,
As I cycled mile after mile,
The weather was good,
Bringing forth a pleasant smile.
...

Through the ups and downs of life,
At times we may not be well,
Do we throw in the towel?
Or chime the ending bell?
...

In the beginning of the Heavens and the Earth,
Things proved to be a desolate waste,
So the imagination of the creator gave birth,
According to his very good taste.
...

In wait for her he lay,
The snake, which tempted Eve,
In a very cunning way,
The poor woman was deceived.
...

Abel was a righteous man,
Who attended sheep,
He loved his God in all his heart,
Which made him rather sweet.
...

Lantern, Lantern on the wall,
Your light is appreciated by us all,
Flickering through the dark night,
You chase away those who fright.
...

Drink, drink,
Glorious drink,
Nothing quite like it,
To make you stink.
...

A foreign stamp in the corner,
A letter from afar,
From who could it be?
It’s from Grandpapa.
...

It was one sided,
In an unrequited form,
I was so enchanted,
And going through a storm.
...
