Chained to the bars of her prison
playing her sad sweet song
been stuck here for 7 days now
Can't figue out what shes done wrong
The moonlight shimmers in her hair
reflecting in her eyes
the lock shines dully
reminding her of his lies
He promised she'd be safe up here
With a view to simply die for
But now she knows the truth
she can't look out the window anymore
But as she risks a glance out
she sees 2 beautiful snow owls
one holding a key
The other checking if hes on the prowl
A soft hoot tells her the coast is clear
and as the lock clicks undone
she climbs out the window and down
but knows he wont ever be outrun.

Phew, as I was reading this, I was thinking "geenie mack i hope it's not based on a true story like the ben and eloise ones" but -- well, phew, am relieved to see you HAVENT ever been locked up in a high tower only to be rescued by owls!!
Nice job of working from a prompt; you manage to create stirring emotions in your readers I think, the way you skillfully insert bright visual images, and evoke the senses.

wow , that was really good , i love the rhyme scheme and fantastic imagery, plus snow owls are my favourite bird so you grabbed a few points on that stanza

Im not going to be really strict with the length, was just a general guide reallyGood rhyming scheme here and i really liked the idea behind it , the last stanza perfectly rounded off the story you have portrayed. What i was looking for was your take on the pic and you have penned that very well. Welcome aboard my family younger sis Thank you so much for entering with this very well written poem
