What and evocative opening with "Caged in the thoughts supposed to release her". This poem has a beautiful reflective tone that draws the reader in. However it does seem to stray in a few places from iambic pentameter if that is a condition of the contest (i.e. 1,3,4 & 7). Would suggest a quick re-read and double check the flow and iambic pentameter side of things.

This sonnet, Servant to Her Heart, has the poetic take on the struggle to escape and be free of the shackles of oppression. ONE BIG PROBLEM: You are missing a stanza. This has only ten lines; needs four more. You have until January to add them. Good luck.

This is very nice and I like the theme but... This falls short of a proper sonnet.

It must consist of 14 lines. You have only 10. You are missing an entire stanza. Also, remember the question.
