Though I sang in my chains like the sea."

@gutenberg_org Those two lines alone make me want to try a specific thing in a poem of my own some time, so even without any context that poem definitely has an impact.
@wynke Go ahead and please share your poem here with us.
@gutenberg_org I will, if I remember to by the time I actually write it. Which may be later today or in more than a year. (And if I think it's good enough for public viewing.)
