Chained Limbs | Whooshwrite Poetry Prompt, Week One: Dragon | My Entry

Chained Limbs

Held hostage
in a damp room
underground.

Icy chains
restrict
my massive limbs -
     my nostrils flare.

Through the window
I watch you climbing
the hill:
     your red shoes brighter
     than my fiery heart
     which you hold
     triumphantly in your hands.
