Sun-
rise
here we go again
eyes
are slowly opening
why
cant I just close them and
try
to stay here frozen in
time
the aching grows in my
mind
I feel it close and un-
wind
someone throw me up a
sign
is this our world or just
mine
a hand me down to the
blind-
from those already in
line
waiting to see if De-
vine
is just a word or de-
sign
it cant be worth all the
grind
the stress of the dollar
sign
next time I’m out on the
line
can’t promise I wont
resign

I'm on my feet, I'm on the floor, I'm good to go
All I need is just to hear a song I know

Hm, I dunno about this, Kevin... it gave me sore eyes from all the darting around I had to do while reading this.  Visually I don't really like the layout.

I think it's a neat concept for a poem, and I see how necessary it is for you to have certain individual words connected equally to both adjacent lines...

The rhyme was repetitive, but you still did a good job keeping it creative and in context.  You should try some of the harder rhyming formats, like villanelle, and see what you can churn out...

Nice work nonetheless.  I'd like to see a way to make this easier on the eyes, but I'm not sure how that's possible.  Might just be me anyways.

I like that part... it's spelled Divine though, unless you're talking about our admin Poet DeVine

The format made me think, and I wasn't too cool with that, but for some reason I still like the format *thinks* yeah.
