The Cage Of The World Broken Comments

that shows the way of the world and very much is said with the imagery of the bird...beautiful poem

Hi Mary Your poem THE CAGE OF THE WORLD BROKEN is open to two interpretations: in one the bird is a real bird and the world is its and ours place of being. So the bird lives and dies as all worldly things do. In the second interpretation the bird is a symbol of the human soul and the poem shows that death releases the soul so that it can live in total freedom beyond the world. Right now, I am responding to the first interpretation, but there will times when I re-read your poem for the comfort provided by the second one. I had a wonderful canary I named TWEEL who lived a happy and full life but died naturally after seven years - a canary's natural span. I wrote the poem TWEEL'S PARTING SONG as a homage to him and a celebration of our time together. it's posted on my Poems Page. I trust you will appreciate it. Regards from Minnesota.

So sweet a poem it is. I feel for the bird.

yes, we can be friends, why not? A very good poem, thank you for sharing.
