Encaged

The en-caged bird

is as lonely as the last leaf on an oak tree

at the end of fall.

It's songs are no longer

carried by the wind

for its voice is restrained by it's own mind.

That bird is nothing

but an antique sitting in a cage.

A very interesting take on a caged bird. I do view a bird to be very lonely and sad when it is in a cage, especially if they were once free. I am sure they would be lost in their own minds dreaming to fly free again and leave the cage life behind.

Great Job

Wow, you really captured the mindset of the bird through a great metaphor. Really liked this.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree. Powerful use of words and thoughts. Left the reader with a vision of a prison with no escape. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
