Wow! This is an amazingly powerful piece of poetry with a brilliant metaphor cast as a mad bird. I love gutsy poetry like this and you have certainly made my emotions run wild. 10 Karin Anderson
'A Mad Bird Was I ' has great vibrations for me. A great poem of emotion in a tail spin-to use a pun! ' How could you tell a bird in such a state that 'God's help is nearer than the door' (An old Irish saying) .
I love delving into the format of the poem... hypothetical questions: was it intentional? accidental? Does it further the overall message of what's being said? A mad, mad bird was you. Different taste from another good poet.
Brillient with required mellowed tones...took me to another world. But felt not enough! coluld have been further expanded into few more thoughts sathya narayana
Masterful imagery. You invoke the frustrations and anguish that we all feel when our worlds are turned upside down. Outstanding poem.
Rani, you have captured the torment and agony we go though at some point in life. the metaphor of the mad bird has been very skillfully employed to convey your state of mind.
There is gloom time in everyone's life Once you get pinched to the pain most... You go out of the way You try the unconventional way... If you retain the enthusiasm At any cost of time and space you will be blessed with Spectrum of ways To caml yourself. Everyone becomes a Mad Bird One or the other time But how you find direction Relies, all, on your weight. Nice one.Thank You.
This is an interesting metaphor, I've never really thought about it, but the idea of a mad bird flying directionlessly is quite intriquing. Great poem, your feelings are conveyed well, i hope you feel better
I think that one reason to write poetry is to work through our conflicts. It is nice of you to make a confession and share your turmoils with us. We have much in common.
You have beautifully expressed your plight in your poem. All the best!
Great poem! This tenner of a poem, reminds me of my mental blocked poem. Ideas can either fly haphazardly or come to a screeching halt in time. God bless all poets and readers alike-MJG.
