The Prometheus Man

[Chorus]

Hi Chorus, welcome to the site! There's a lot of touches that I like here. I'm reminded of the Gospel of Luke with the words of Jesus saying he saw Satan fall like lightning. I take this poem as the observations of the chained fallen angel watching a freedom that he once enjoyed. A few comments below:

Once--I'm taking this as a title not a first line. 
Angels left heaven for a day  
And they blazed through the skies--you don't need they
Like golden meteors 
Leaving contrails of stardust--This is a great image--very visual. I love contrails of stardust. 
In their wake--Wake is a solid choice to give a nautical foreshadowing to the later seagulls. 


Oh, how I spite those glittering roads
For yanking at my chains 
And how I turn green--This is nice for the dual meaning envy/and a bit of seasickness implied by the birds juxtaposing the speaker's captivity with the unhindered motion of the angels.
At the sight of seagulls--Seagulls is what truly makes this interesting though. Not an obvious bird choice. I took this as a dismissive comparison. Perhaps because they are scavengers. They cling to their positions and dive for the crumbs.

Best,

Todd

Thanks, I'm glad to be here.

"Once" was the beginning of the poem. I'm still thinking of a suitable title, but I'll add a comma to make that more clear. I agree that I don't need "that" in the third line.

I see how you took the speaker as a chained, fallen angel. That's not necessarily what I had in mind, but it doesn't change the meaning of the poem. I'll make some of the changes you suggested.
