Double dactyls: Eikev

Follow-Me-follow-Me:
Widows and fatherless
Have the protection of
The Shechinah.

Having enshrined us as
Humanitarian,
One further paragraph
Of the Shema.

You can play too by posting in the comments! A reminder of the rules of the “dismally difficult” double dactyl:

1. There must be eight lines.
2. Lines 1-3 and 5-7 must each consist of a pair of dactyls (that is, dum-der-der dum-der-der).
3. Lines 4 and 8 must be choriambs (that is, dum-der-der-dum).
4. Lines 4 and 8 must rhyme.
5. Line 1 must be nonsense.
6. Line 2 must be the subject of the poem, ideally a name that is itself a pair of dactyls (eg ‘Laurence Olivier’).
7. Line 6 must be a single word that is itself a pair of dactyls (eg ‘cardiovascular’).
