Caged Bird

BY MAYA ANGELOU

A free bird leaps

on the back of the wind   

and floats downstream   

till the current ends

and dips his wing

in the orange sun rays

and dares to claim the sky.


But a bird that stalks

down his narrow cage

can seldom see through

his bars of rage

his wings are clipped and   

his feet are tied

so he opens his throat to sing.


The caged bird sings   

with a fearful trill   

of things unknown   

but longed for still   

and his tune is heard   

on the distant hill   

for the caged bird   

sings of freedom.


The free bird thinks of another breeze

and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees

and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn

and he names the sky his own


But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams   

his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream   

his wings are clipped and his feet are tied   

so he opens his throat to sing.


The caged bird sings   

with a fearful trill   

of things unknown   

but longed for still   

and his tune is heard   

on the distant hill   

for the caged bird   

sings of freedom.

@Ginny I love the poem you posted too! Btw, how's your health?!

[Jarvis]

Aditya, Frost and Yeats are my favorite poets :D :D
In that order :P

I am fine. Surviving XD

[Jarvis]

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay.

Robert Frost

sorry replied for the other comments..

[Luffy Sempai]

from Daria (need a bit of a context for this though):

Kevin - (around mouthfull of nuts) Hi! Welcome to Nutty World. (swallows) Hi, there. Welcome to Nutty World. We're just crunching our lunch and sending your nuts... uh, Daria, what comes next again?

Daria - Bankruptcy court?

ttpbm: same?

[Ahtims]

I am thoroughly confused :-P
in answer to my Q, Amy from Gone Girl.

ttpbm - do you have a real life friend with whom you can talk for hours together?

[Luffy Sempai]

@Abhay You just that you need some background info:

There is this nut selling stand that hired two students, Kevin (idiotic jock) and Daria (smart, cynical and witty). The job requires them to work as cashiers with the caveat that they say the following line to every customer:

"Welcome to It's a Nutty, Nutty, Nutty World. We're just nuts about nuts. Crunch nuts with your lunch. Buy them by the bunch. Send them to friends far away to munch."

Failure to do this results in a small fine.

[Pranjali]

yes
same??

[Luffy Sempai]

@ Shalini I've never talked for hours consecutively. So, I don't know.

Not enough of a sense of humor.
