Walking gingerly outside
Upon his release,
Jumping away from the warmth
Unknowns scare us all the most

clouds alight
dew beads on wet leaves
feels like love...
sleeping buds
blossom their unfolded wings 
a caged skylark trills.

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.

Caged For You

STRIPPED DOWN
BARE
CUT TO THE QUICK
MY HEART
FRAGILE AND SINEWY 
MY BRITTLE BONES
ACHE
STIFF AND HOLLOW
A BUTTERFLY CAUGHT
PINNED INSIDE THE GLASS.

Mind Engaged and Caged

Ode to Maya Angelou 

My mind often may be engaged;
When I found out it was caged,
Time devote;
Poems wrote;
I became furious and enraged.

Caged Bird

I shall never fear deaths awful sword,
as long as I walk upon this earth, for
I'm like a caged bird to life's pains, hoping
one day the lord will set me free.

Dark when day
These feelings convey
Locked an encaged
Lost and afraid
Creatures of the night
Are in our minds sight
When feelings relayed
We are locked away

The Caged Parrot

The bird’s voice still sounds charming,
Though caged, it never stops dreaming.
As human language it once understood,
It has lost freedom of living in the wood.

my soul is like a c a g ed  animal yearning to break free....

Caged Emotions

caged emotions 
captured long ago
could never unlock
the latch to the door 
that lead to freedom
from this emotional
restriction that had been
placed upon the heart from 
the start

She Is a Caged Bird

She’s a caged bird waiting to be set free 
to feel the breeze under her wings 
Don’t worry, she’ll be back
she knows you love her and you want her to stay
But a golden cage is still a cage

Premium Member Caged and Boxed

caged and boxed
smacked into a smallish space
Confined
I am a lion
roaring loudly and clearly
In mindfulness
Praising family
for their non-interest
caged and boxed
Living full me-ness

Premium Member Caged Birds

caged birds can sing not

unhappiness, No songs bring

dream of their freedom.

A Caged Bird

I am like a caged bird
who doesn't ever get tired
to find the way to fly
in the lovely blue sky.

I will fly, float and run
in the deep blue ocean.
I will sing when I roam;
Then I will come back home.

The Position of the Caged Bird

(Chuckie Egg) 

I was in love with the position of the bird, 
With its location, was situated on the left, 
Because it was the reason for the game yard, 
And it caught your eye first, was not bereft.

Caged Bird

I'm free, no longer caged for man's amusement. Flying free in the open skies until my nest
calls me home again, then I will go back, to where I belong. To begin a family and never
again go back to the cage.

Confined within the rusty iron bars to hop and trip Wishing to fly aloft into Heaven's seamless starry heights A bird beats her wings in vain but trilling in sweet sad notes!

Premium Member Caged Outside On Halloween

Old owl and his cage, and he pounds against glass. Old geezer drops teeth at the sound, falls on a$$. A snicker and boo. The man runs for loo. Old man full of crap - he does more than pass gas.
