My, my! This poem makes me so sad for caged parrots! You have masterfully encapsulated the captivity of a parrot! This poem has the essentials of a great story! A crisis, a deep-hearted longing, and a point of action! Brilliant!

A philosophical poem with contradictions of thought, dreams and events. The dream of freedom ends in disaster for the continuously prisoned souls. Excellent.

Beautiful poem. Anyone caged or enslaved may for the time-being think it safe and secure in their being in captivity but as you have rightly pointed out- I dream Of the open sky.... Where I do belong. Thanks a lot.

The milked rice And the good nuts That I am served Do not satisfy As I dream Of the open sky Where I do belong.......so touching. Really milked rice or good food can't bring satisfaction and happiness to a caged bird as it always needs freedom and to fly in open sky. Who does'nt want to be free? I don't like to put a bird in prision. You are a kind hearted lady that you can feel the pain of other. I appreciate this poem and the way of presentation you made.Enjoyed time and again.

Keep the cage open I may get a chance to fly But my wings that have forgotten the art of flying How ironic! This beautiful poem carries many examples of such deep-seated ironies. Enjoyed reading it. Wonderful composition ma'am!

A novel and original idea to let a parrot speak at length, but they do talk, after a fashion. Parrots may well want to leave their cages and fly freely. I think that is a deep instinct in most animals and birds. But they are safer in a cage, as your poem indicates so well.

I enjoyed this and can relate to it well. I raised parrots and birds in San Diego, California. This is a real look of what is there and most do not even think about. Good job!

On some careless day My owner may Keep the cage open I may get a chance to fly But my wings that have forgotten the art of flying may fall a prey to some vultures My good owner and his neighbors Will curse me, O.K, O.K Let that ungratefulbird Meet a graceless end.
