Poem #12


"I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" by: Maya Angelou

In this poem Angelou talks about all the things a bird can see from its cage. It can see the free birds that are flying around and landing in the creek, etc. She also says how it watches the worms go by and the orange sun rays shine. This was sad because it is said that the bird is tied up inside the cage and to me that is torture especially having to watch it all. When I think about it I feel if something like that was done to humans, we would learn to appreciate the world around us after watching for so long. To me, this was a very interesting poem.
