Best Solomon Poems

In the year ninteen eighty one on the nineteenth day of December
A day the town of Mousehole in Cornwall, will always remember
An R.N.L.I. Watson class wooden lifeboat, the 'Solomon Browne'
Launched from Penlee lifeboat station in that little coastal town.

A coaster on its maiden voyage had...

Great King Solomon, wisest of the rulers of Israel,
The favored son of King David, who was beloved of our God,
Did fall from grace in his old age though God suffered him for years.
He warned him and He warned him that his actions would bring tears.

Solomon's...

Covered bridge sheltering frothy lagoon
Woven tapestry gilding each silted dune
Garnished threads over polished diadem doth croon
Fabricated ensemble breaching pristine medley, emitting swaggering tune 
A treasured grove; each branch artfully hewn
A regal polish smoothly layered on a well-crafted spoon
   
Scented laces nestling in furrowed moon
Binding corset ballasting each...

Solomon wouldn't listen,
Though God suffered him for years.
He warned him and He warned him,
That his actions would bring tears.
Solomon's wealth and power,
Were known both far and wide,
And kings from other countries,
Brought their daughters for his brides;
But God said Solomon be wise,
Send them away from you;
For...

The plane touched down
Ethiopians kissed the ground
   The Bible's holy soil
      Land of Israel
      Home at Last!

operation, in which over 14,000 persecuted 
Ethiopian Jews were airlifted to...

Memories, dust and ashes
- the power of eternity's love and desire
Nothing has changed for thousands of years
  "Love is better than wine"
A bottle of wine contains a lot of philosophy
- free from erotic desire
Let the roots grow in a cedar tree

The Song of Solomon
a ballad...

Solomon Cook

1820 – 1900

It was a miracle. 
I entered this wicked world with
Mother’s umbilical wrapped around my neck like a noose,
Inside a cold cabin made of stone.
My mother,
A beauty of burden,
Chopped the wood
And served chicken neck soup on special occasions.
My father taught me stories from...

wise virgins therefore love Him
the Rose of Sharon,
the beloved Lily,
Beloved is mine, I am his,
I swoon of His love~

Golly Gee, shoot I'm mad

War after war in the name of his sovereign king
 
A seventeenth century fury, devoid of all shame
 
Through pistol, cutlass and rapier, the world knew his name
 
So too does the Reaper, and beckons to Solomon Kane
.
 
A time to fight evil with evil,...

Solomon possessed a gift
'Wisdom' was her name
He courted her most graciously 
And soon her sisters came.

When 'understanding' raised her head
Solomon was there 
And wisely let her lead the way
To things both rich and rare.

'Knowledge' seemed a burden 
She was so vast and wide
He shared her...

lovely woman- -
follow tracks of the sheep;
by shepherd tents graze

a favorite mare
harnessed by Pharaoh- -
beside you it pales

your beautiful eyes
sparkle the dark of midnight- -
I feel your breath...

There was a guy who didn’t know much
Set out to study the Bible a bunch
Song of Solomon he read
To the Lord he was then led
Now salvation is not only a hunch...

I tried to write a poem the way that Solomon wrote about his prize,
But you don’t seem to fit the mold you don’t have a pair of flighty eyes.
And evidently he liked the fact and it seems that it raised his hopes,
When he would sniff...
