The Caged Robin

Confined to a cage,
with a wisk in his wings,
he wanted to break free;
he squeezed his body through rods:
into the spring sky he flew.

Good morning, Bonnie. Thank you for your kind comment. We sometimes feel like a caged bird in our confined environment, so like the little bird we must break free. Have a wonderful day. Best Wishes, Andrew.
