2 Harlinzettles

• Artist: SilvertongueSagittarius
• Description: Now, you've never heard of a Harlinzettle. I know this because it was invented by a group of kids in a Creative Writing class at my High School. It was an assignment of theirs to design a form of poetry. I saw this format and fell in love with it. The form is as follows:
  5 lines, Refrain, 4 lines, Refrain, 3 lines, Refrain, 2 lines, Refrain
  The Refrain changes by one word each time, maintaining a coherent phrase.

"Impact"

Sleep for now. They're hunting
Prowling outside like Honey badgers
We'll have to wait here for now
It'll all be gone in the morning
We'll have the whole day to ourselves

I never knew the beauty of a Sunrise

I know you're hurt pretty badly
But please try not to cry
They'll hear us if we're not careful
And it breaks my heart every time

I never knew the beauty of a tear

Your head on my chest comforts me
I smell the ash in your hair
I could never let you see me crying too

I never knew the impact of a tear

Damn it all, they found us
Take this gun. Run. I'll hold them back

I never knew the impact of a "goodbye"

"Bare Naked and Badly Stained"

We are Samson and Delilah
Bare naked and badly stained
Hand me the weaponry! Save me the memory!
We're roses with their twisted names
I wont bother with lying

I wont lose myself for you again

Who told you it was safe to stalk me?
Get ready to hit the wall
I don't want to hear you, I'm tired of talking
Color me a heretic, Silver Tongue and all

I wont lose sleep for you again

I feed all your insecurities
But you take it in stride
I can feel you inside

I wont fake sleep for you again

Nothing I say means anything
Baby, I'm not sorry

I wont fake love for you again
