MIGHTY DAVID PRAISED AND DANCED BEFORE GOD SAMUEL 614-16
MIGHTY DAVID PRAISED AND DANCED BEFORE GOD (SAMUEL 6:14-16)
Mighty David praised and danced before God
David was a high stepper
A toe tapper
Man did He love God
Mighty David praised and danced before God
Mighty David praised and danced before God
And David danced before the Lord
And David danced before the Lord
Step, step O’ Hallelujah
Step, step O’ Hallelujah
Wearing His priestly

We Danced at the Gas Station
This poem is featured on YouTube (The Convergence point with Dr. Ivan Edwards), bringing its words to life through spoken expression.
A gas station on the edge of the city,
Neon lights buzzing in the night,
graffiti scrawled across walls,
the hum of distant traffic our backdrop.
The place was nothing special,

Stars Danced Around the Somber Moon
A sudden darkness veiled the world below.
Luna was defused by a shadowed sky,
giving cause for Earth to be wrought with woe.
Something strange caused the night to go awry
as a shroud covered moonlight's golden glow.
My pulse quickened at the phenomenon.
I inhaled the floral scent of roses.
Snowflakes drifted over garden and lawn.
Like a fairytale that one composes,
it

Ricky Danced with Anyone
Ricky danced in the rain
without shame.
Who could blame him,
this character, chicken.
Oh the splash he made
with his fame.
Oh the waddle and pain.
his hips and his knees
aching, but with a quack
he made a splash,
and for a little while
he forgot
that a little rain
erased the pain.
So he put on
the ritz -
orange webbed boots
and a yellow
fisherman’s hat.
Anyone danced in the

Her Moon And Stars Danced The Night
New Voices Poetry Contest
Regina Mcintosh
She took him handly to her home
As her pleasures began to roam
Onto her bedroom she took flight
Her moon and stars danced the night
Under the covers of romance
Their wildfires began to advance
It spread and twisted all its might
Her moon and stars danced the night
She boxed her lover one by one
While their playgrounds

BUTTERFLIES DANCED
BUTTERFLIES DANCE
Need my first thing in the morning cuppa tea
bladder’s screaming ‘how long can I hold this pee?
but I am waiting for a darned online delivery
App says 8 more stops, so I know he’s getting near
then hopefully these butterflies will disappear
Footsteps creak along the corridor, it could be him
bet those nosey bastards went and

How Their Eyes Danced With Darkness
We had a desert mission
Just north of us in Zarghun Shahr
But little did we know that day
We wouldn’t get that far.
We did not doubt the intel
That led us up the road of dust;
an IED exploded,
in up armor we trust.
To check if there were wounded,
The hatch went down and out we went.
The medics tended to

As The Land Danced To The Moon
Eight Words 2 Poetry Contest
Sponsor-Joseph May
As the land danced to the moon
An artist took her hand in his
As he primed LILAC skies of June
His MISTY lover hung on this
The SLUMBER of paint rising fast
As the land danced to the moon
The WEARY artist had a blast
To the landscape's ETCHING he swoon
He paced with her and played

In the twilight of youthful dreams, where shadows danced with whispers of hope
In the twilight of youthful dreams, where shadows danced with whispers of hope,
He fled at eighteen, with a heart full of wanderlust, despising the confines of his small town,
With a smile etched on his lips, freed from the frown of familiarity,
The world called to him, a vast canvas waiting for his touch, a realm of

THE LOLLIPOP DANCED
The lollipop danced
All around
Spinning colors of
Red, yellow, and brown
Like a ballerina on fire
Wearing such beautiful
In-Ring attire
She had all
The perfect steps
Patterning the floor
With her tiny footsteps
To see a lollipop
With such drive
Makes my heart feel
So warm inside

candy canes danced off the shelf
on Tuesday the candy canes danced off the shelf
I almost got run over by a screaming running elf.
Where is the head baker? He asked without apology.
Watch where you are going! I yelped to that arrogant he.
Then I saw something horrific for myself.
Those striped candy canes had all danced off the shelf.
They were doing the tango,

He Danced
Poignant, graceful – sweeping
The floor, the soul, with silhouettes
Breathing hope through silence,
Erasing all the melancholic tones
Gray and musty, whispering
As he steps from thought to thought,
Vibrating with rhythmic feeling –
Powerful legs, bending and swirling,
Darting across the memory, hesitating
Healing even the eventual pains,
The lasting ache of grief, restoring
Even the doubts to a faith, a feeling
Blessing and

I Danced With Them All
in streams of sunbeams inviting
my face to turn upwards
I am captured by intangible senses of
nutmeg and cinnamon communion-
candy-coated moments blossoming
As the wizard of memories wakes a dream
speechless and smiling
standing and body turning with movement
I am drawn onto the shag carpet
of blades sprouting green lightheartedness
tickling the soles of my feet
unabashedly bare
naked on an aimless path
shuffling

She Danced With the Moon
She danced with the moon
For the stars in the sky,
Then into my heart;
I’ll never know why.
Her laughter, contagious;
Enchanting her looks.
Lept right of the pages
From storied old books.
She sings up the morning
And tucks in the night.
That lilting, sweet voice
Tells me everything’s right.
When she’s gone, I’m empty
And filled with despair:
An unfillable void,
Black nothingness there.
And then she returns
On
