Gibeon Poems | Examples

Good Soldiers

On the day the Lord gave the Amorites over to Israel,
  Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel:
            O sun, stand still over Gibeon,
              O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon

                                                   Joshua 10:12 NIV

GOOD SOLDIERS

soldier sun and moon
hearkened to the Lord’s orders —
stood at attention

arrayed in shining armor
the full-medaled sun obeys

in white uniform
the moon over the valley
awaits assignment

while the high sun shines
the Lord fights for Israel
