Dream of Change {chain In Couplet Form}

In my dream I hear a sound
Sound the alarm all around
Around and around we go
Go on a journey through the soul
Soul and heart do address
Address what is on my chest
Chest pumped and looking good
Good like a block of wood
Wood are you to blind to see
See that is no longer me
Me myself I am free
Free from what I used to be
Be no less than who you are
Are you not like a star?
Star that is shining bright
Bright like a neon light
Light that torch and let it burn
Burn your bridges till you learn
Learn to let your homeboys know
Know that from my life you must all go
Go in peace and try to see
See the peace inside of me
Me myself I now detest
Detest these tattoos on my chest

The Chain poem uses the last
word in the sentence as the
first word in the following
sentence. {I don't know why
it was removed from the poetry
forms}. I decided to combine
it with the Couplet form. {I 
guess I was bored}.

This poem is very clever, Michael. I love this idea of using the chain/couplet form together in this interesting poem. You have left an old life behind, in this very remarkable poem. It captured my attention....Carrie
