Narrowly avoiding the tip of the lance
With the devil did he dance
Two left feet, one right hand
Feigning insanity in a foreign land
A giant fell, a story yet to tell
After his heart, before his throne
Through his countenance glory shown
** **
From the bosom of Ruth was he brought
Through the utterance of truth his lineage is sought
The mighty psalmist, to tears was he brought
Bones turn to dust, a victim of lust
No need for despair for the lamb becomes his heir
Perfect was he not, in deed nor thought
Ruddy and red, meek and mild
King and child, solemn and wild

Nancy Guthrie: Is a miracle still possible after close to two weeks?
Close to two weeks since Nancy Guthrie's abduction As of February 12, 2026, Nancy Guthrie remains classified as missing for 12 days, but there is no official confirmation that she is deceased. Blood matching Guthrie’s DNA was found on her front porch, indicating she likely suffered an injury during the abduction.

"Narrowly avoiding the tip of the lance / With the devil did he dance / Two left feet, one right hand / Feigning insanity in a foreign land" These lines are so excellent. I love your meter and the rhyme scheme in this piece. Your language is extremely interesting and compelling. Keep up the good work.
