2 Joyful Dancers
The first dancing poem alludes to King David from II Samuel chapter 6 of the Old Testament.
The second poem is about Emile Namsemon. He was a friend of mine from my Ball State days.
The Dancing King
He was magnetized
by the Ark
and his dancing
would have made
Michael Jackson and Fred Astaire
look slow and stiff.
It would have been
a sight to see
David dance
before the Lord.

to: emile namsemon
your dancing
was electric joy
spun throughout
the room -
those around
imbibed the vibe
of the
joyful dancing saint
