Best Philistines Poems
Poetry Polaris -I was a child of words,
they explained my laughter, sheltered my dreams,
gave soul and sunshine a synergy,
emotions could escape jovially, mischeviously, miraculously,
art from a wind pipe, architecture of innocence played on papyrus,
I discovered that I could lye with them to achieve absolvement,
I may lie with...

Ode
The Enemy On My BedAnd he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.Judges 14:18b
They plowed with the heifer,
A stranger of a day,
assigned from the pit,
to bring a Samson down.
She feigned false affiance,
with a mission so deliberate,
trans-versing...

All In a Days WorkGod created the heavens and Earth,
Presided at a child’s birth,
Made man from a pile of clay,
Welcomes saints to glory everyday.
God smote the Philistines and Egyptians in a fight,
Put the stars and Moon in place for light,
Provided manna for his people to eat,
Placed all the Earth...

A Simple StoneA new twist on a familiar story:
The Israelites feared the Philistines’ wrath.
A giant named Goliath stood right in their path.
They basked in confusion with no battle plan,
when one, but a boy, stood up like a man.
He was stricken by fear like all...

As Delilah Snips a Piece of Samson's HairI remember that valley, Samson.
I warned you then—I don’t like cocky-boys,
so you worked in that right amount of modesty.
And those sturdy looks could conquer hearts
and Philistines; if they wanted to, when,
they wanted to.
You remember that valley, Samson?
When you listened

The Song of SamsonMonoah had a wife,
who was barren most her life.
An angel came and whispered in her ear,
you'll have a son and hold him dear.
Now the angel said, "No unclean things to eat,
don't drink strong wine
and Samson your son,
should be just fine."
Oh! But...

David and GoliathDavid and Goliath
When David heard Goliath bring
God’s name disgrace.
He wondered if any man would
challenge him, face to face.
All the men in Israel were scared,
and not this brave.
For if they lost, they’d be
the Philistines’ slave.
King Saul wondered if anyone
would challenge this man.
David accepted—knowing
this was God’s land.

In your pocket for times that life throws you a curve?
What if someone you love ups and dies?
Does it matter at all if they took their own life
Suddenly they’re not part of your earth.
If they lived a full life or...

Since it reveals sincere trust in its purest height
Showcasing genuine reliance to the Sovereign’s might
Devoid of doubt and unbelief along uncertainty-blight.
Child-like faith was exemplified by virtuous Bible characters
Who in their young age could be considered as heroic...
