I original tried posting this as chained animagi,but found out that animagi is a harry potter specific term, though I'm sure I've heard it else where. A magimorphiis basicly like an animagi except it can turn into whatever animal they feel fit. This poor Magimorphi didn't realise he was one until he was locked up for being magical.

I am chained, my feet are bound.

I try to scream, without sound.

I look around but all I see

Is darkness spreading round me.

 

I will not be chained, never bound

This time a scream, but with a sound

Burning fury fills my eyes

I gain claws, to my surprise.

 

I am chained and I am bound

The chains break without a sound

I flee my prison, and my doom

I leave that dark and musty room.

 

I was chained and I was bound

The chains shattered without sound

I had once seen the darkness

But I have left the starkness.

 

I was lost but now am found

I am never chained ne’r bound

I sprint down a passage way

But I have had my luck today.

 

There’s only a window round

One thousand feet off the ground

I leap, I fall then I fly,

I am soaring in freedom’s sky!

 

I was chained and I was bound

Now I’m high over ground!

My world’s changed, my futures bright

I soar away, out of sight.

 

Never again I will be bound

As an owl, I make no sound.

Many shapes I’ll take to fight,

But I’ll be an owl tonight!

 

I was chained, and I was bound.

Now I fly without a sound.

Magimorphi do not die

We spread our wings then fly!

omg, that was so awesome!!!!! i soooooo love poetry, and i am waaay to tired to read all of it x_X but that was AWESOME! the only thing i dont agree with is that one thing... crap i forgot... hold on...

okay, i dont agree on the starkness thing. Can you find another word that rhymes with starkness? Something like "how can i embark this?" Other then that it was beaUTIFUL!!!!! ^_^

love you!

That was a very nice poem. I empathized with her. I too felt bound and in the dark, but felt free when she jumped and spread her wings. Nice job writing it, making the reader feel her emotions!

Oh, too cool style of writing!! I like poems too! they are awesome things! I write them also12 some don't rhyme though, it's easier to express what i want to say that way12 oh and yes that was a tip, sometimes in writing poems that don't rhyme, you can say what you want to say clearer, though this is fine, i do both...i love the way things flow when it rhymes but its our choice really, just thought id share12
*thumbs up* nice work!

:-) Carolin Emily 'Dragoncat' Southern replies: "I do non rhyming poems too, but I just like the rhymy sort. Non rhyming poems svae me having to look up words in thesaurus so often.12 I'm lazy, aren't I.Carolin"
