Another great poem. I like the dark imagery in this poem. I also like that you started with and ended with the same lines, make a small but powerful change by just saying "unable". I think that really adds to the meaning and entrapment of the poem. I think that is a strong suit in the poetry I've seen--starting and ending on the same note. This poem reminds me of the Greek God that was chained up to have his liver eaten every day for the rest of eternity. I think it contains similar imagery (this could be from the point of view of the Eagle or whatever bird it was!). I don't really understand the allusion to Beauty and the Beast besides the idea of entrapment simply because that had a happy ending and the entrapment ended up to be something beautiful. I'd consider switching to another allusion because I like the fact that you included one. I like the idea of "Sacrifice Chains" and a "Chain Keeper", I'd just like to know more! I'd like to see more imagery about what is going on. I feel like this is figurative, but there is also a literal element when you talk about how they saved their family. I just really want to know the story behind this, maybe it'd make a good short story? Overall, I like the dark undertones, I'd just like to know more about what is going on! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks again! And write on!
