Best Deborah Poems

Is she Debra or Deborah?
Debra suits her best
Although she has an aura
Her name could be Deborah.

Debra sounds sweeter,
I'd like to meet her,
Debra or Deborah,
You can't ignore her

She is a poet,
That's how we met.
She will go far in writing poetry,
I bet.

She has a knack,
By putting things...

Her hair would fan out in the wind
She would laugh, running her fingers through it
Her eyes would sparkle seeing a friend
With all my buddies, she was a big hit.

But it was her heart that captured me
She was sweet and good, tried and true
Principled, she valued...

Formed from the seed of love their feelings prime,
a girl child was woven heroine,
biblical prophetess in time;
Deborah was such, the name chosen, mine.

Like a lightening bolt was she conceived,
a joining of aspirant souls,
seeking other primal roles,
into controversy; she was received.

This fiery woman, a rousing Queen...

Deborah:  the name I’ve grown into.

I am also called seeker, dreamer, believer, ever hopeful;
	For I am all these things.

Helen and John, grandparents extraordinaire, 
	Their imprint strong upon me as though they truly were my parents.

Deborah:  lover of words, of ideals, of the beautiful...

She saw the face of Judas in him.
The bearded kiss festered no truth
and the metallic breath
exhaled putrid faithfulness.
The trampled petals spoor no lusting stares, 
redolent no more
even as the tongue creeps by the shoulders.

The razors have summoned from the stinking room!
A slit in the neck...

During one year of my high school (I can’t remember which),
Everything was beautiful in one particular class.
Books were not required.
Only imagination and creativity were
Revered!
An outstanding teacher fresh out of college
Held me enraptured that one entire semester.

Rather than drone on with lectures, she inspired us to
Own...

There was at one time a woman judge named Deborah.
She lived in the high land between Bethel and Ramah.
This wife of Lappidoth held court under some great palms.
Ephraim was the place where she would settle many qualms.
Deborah proved to be a prophetess of God’s word.
The...

I heard the train comin'
With warning bells strummin'
And had to leap oughta the way!

The Guzzi Express, with no time to rest,
Steamed Highlander's limerick to play!

With chimney a smoke
Right at this poor bloke,
C. Richards did save the day!

Said I to myself, go give it a try,
Then...

It’s Deborah’s birthday today -  I think she’s twenty one
I’m lucky to have found her, she shines like the morning sun

She’s always here to leave a lovely comment on our work
It’s something she enjoys not a task she will ever shirk

She is fantastic friend...

Deborah

Mother in Israel, clothed in armor
Hill country courtroom ‘neath her lush palm tree,
Judges disputes between landlords and farmers
Judgements, like sweet dates, God's chosen agree.

Clothed by prophecy, Daughter of the Lord
Feeds Israel on God’s bread of mercy
A hunger for fairness – justice restored -
Lappidoth’s wife, resolves...

These tears in my eyes come from missing you
No point in my trying to diminish their flow,
For they reappear with special memories
They persist in following me wherever I go.
How I remember our hours on the beach
Alone in beautiful exotic Antigua, just us two,
Snorkeling in crystal-clear...

"Lord if it is you will, I will do as you ask of me.  But I wonder why you ask me, the weaker gender of your servants?" Deborah said to the Lord her God.  She was sitting on a large boulder which was...

One Day of Knowing

Adam, my Adam, please come stroll with me.
Let us take another walk to the sea.
Come, my husband, the man of my dreams,
We can live forever with no blasphemes!
You named all the animals as God asked.
Eons flew past; you continued the task.
Never “alone”...

Under the
Palm Tree of Deborah
Prophetess who called Barak come
Ask why he had not obeyed God's command...for she knew
He said he would obey if she Deborah would go with him to fight the fierce battle...

De bor' ah is her Congo name,
To mispronounce it such a shame,
For few would read and say it right,
I asked: a sweet smile brought to light!
My travels though suggested in,
But butterflies? To trap's a sin! 

'Swahili' countries (1) borders share
With what was Congo, now Zaire,
With...
