Caged Bird
Rocky Lagou said:
Maya Angelou has competition!!! This is written to a T. I adore your author\'s note as well, our dreams should always be our driving force. The caged bird is most definitely a powerful metaphor for the human desire to be free.

Wow. What an impactful poem. The emotions come through so vividly...and gracefully. I do hope she gets to read this poem one day.

Thank you, Neville. Wish I could\'ve spared you the emotion of relating to this one, but I guess also, some things are better accepted than understood. Much appreciated, fellow poet.

a deeply moving poem full of self disclosure .. and although it won\'t make any difference me saying this, but the inspiration behind it is not that unusual .. I have the same relationship vacuum with my own sister ....... Neville

This piece is so personal and poignant I am privileged to read it. It is evident that you are a wise perceptive human being. I agree with Rocky... the vulnerability you expose is humbling. Best to you.

This poem speaks volumes, dear poet, A situation that happens to many, though how you brought out this truth with such flawlessness, showing your vulnerability in a way only a great poet like yourself can, still astounds me. Your acceptance of what is, is overridden by your need to know why it is happening. Someday, I hope, all may become clear. This is a sad, yet brilliantly written piece. Thank you for sharing yet another masterpiece

This hit like a truck. I\'m so sorry to hear that your relationship with your sister feels this strained. That echoing refrain \"Are you not my mother\'s child?\" is so haunting and sad at the same time. I know what it\'s like to have edgy bonds with family members. My relationship with my dad is literally a tumultuous thing, but I feel the way you do, I still love my dad despite our differences. I feel like sometimes our perceptions of what a family bond should be is different from other people\'s perception. Some people feel indifferent or perhaps unaware of the emptiness that\'s felt when a family bond isn\'t established. I pray that hopefully you and your sister can see eye to eye, it won\'t be easy, but nothing\'s impossible. This was fervent and vulnerable, thank you dear poet.

Wow this is such a journey dear poet. I feel like that sense of childhood naivety is a heavy overall message in this piece.
\"spider sees him evermore since
in magnified replay
from her contained glass view\"
Is such a wonderful description of death. Like it is so vivid and real. It\'s a real ode to that countryside sort of way of living. Love this!

When I was a kid, we used to go catch scorpions and small rattlesnakes in the woods to sell to a man who encased them in resin or plastic paperweights. This brings back haunting memories of me with a jar of scorpions! Thanks for sharing your memory with us.

I really like your writing Garth 🙂 it really can be difficult to remain calm sometimes .. with certain people but we can learn it I guess . And sometimes the best thing we can do with certain people or show them that we’re still kind . You sound a bit like an empath.. and sensitive , something I can relate to
Great writing so nicely expressed

Your ability to express yourself never ceases to amaze. In every poem you\'ve published here, I tend to lose myself in the subtlety and almost profound way you have of describing even the simplest of things that immediately translates to beauty. I am a fan of your work.

Hey! This is a glorious display. Been missing you on MPS not gonna lie. I\'ll be real with you, you truly have a marvelous poetic capacity that\'s unqiue to you. The poem \"Tree of Identity\" was just one of the many that got me hooked to your wonders. In this particular one I really enjoy your shrewd wording, you honestly have a large vocab. I feel music could be an underlying theme, and love is at the surface of your words. Very well done!
