The earth,
I feel no soil...
Not the warmth of the living,
Not the chill of the dead,
The sun shines no glory,
The rain on my head,
Restore me my savior,
What you cleanse is my skin,
Which is not my desire,
Inner fire,
Needs rain...
Author notes
A hennity is my own poetry invention. Hennities have eleven lines, with the sixth line being the climax of the poem. Each line has a certain number of syllables in order to create a specific symmetry.
Line one: 2 syllables
Line two: 4 syllables
Line three: 7 syllables
Line four: 6 syllables
Line five: 6 syllables
Line six: 5 syllables
Line seven: 6 syllables
Line eight: 6 syllables
Line nine: 7 syllables
Line Ten: 4 syllables
Line eleven: 2 syllables
It also follows a rhyme scheme of a, b, c, d, e, d, f, g, h, h, i.
