POEMS OF BIRDCAGE
William Marr
Ever since my childhood, I have been interested in birdcages. I wrote a poem in 1973 entitled Birdcage:
BIRDCAGE
open the cage
let the bird
fly
away
give
freedom back
to the
bird
cage
The final words Bird and Cage are in separate lines. Many of my friends said they liked the poem but didn’t quite get the full meaning of the poem. Usually, when we open the cage, the bird becomes free, not the cage. One day, a friend told me that he got it. I asked him what he got? He said O J Simpson is the bird, we are the cage. Now that we have let him go, we are free! At that time, the TVs were showing the murder trial of O.J. Simpson day and night, and everybody was getting bored. I told him that could be one of the interpretations.
Shortly after that, I wrote the following poem:
CAGED BIRD
they
put him
in the cage
to hear
his song
of freedom
LOUD
and
CLEAR
The bird in this poem could be a political prisoner or a child growing up in a strict family or school. Later on, I wrote the following two poems on related subjects:
BIRDCAGE AGAIN
open
the
cage
let the bird fly
away
and give
the sky
back
its
freedom
What I want to say in this poem is that a sky without flying birds cannot be free or normal.
The following poem is my conclusion on the topic:
BIRD * BIRDCAGE * SKY
open the door
of the birdcage
let the bird fly freely
out
and
in
the cage
thus becomes
the sky
All are free and happy!
