Hello my own version the caged bird tell me did got trapped by the cage by the doctor
I LOVE this poem so much it’s says so much about people life
I agree Alfie and I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I like caged bird because there is allot of emotions and it’s great.
This is my version of it.. A free bird leaps on the big blue sky and floats on the crystal sea
The bird get trAp in the cage in first time and he go to the doctor
I really love this poem it is very beautiful , calm and emotional.❤️
Here is my own version,I hope you enjoy it.
A free bird leaps
On the gigantic cyan sky,
And floats above the glimmering water
Till the sunset ends
And dips his wing
In the lush grass
And dares to claim the land.
But a bird that stalks
Down his down his narrow cage
Can seldom see through
His home jail
His wings are tired
And his feet are doomed
So he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
With a heart-broken trill
Of the undiscovered
But longed for still
And his tune is heard
On the tall hill
For the caged bird
Sings of freedom.
The free bird thinks of another stream
And the windy wind flys through the magnificent tree
And the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn
And he names the land his own.
But a caged bird stands on the crushed dreams
His shadow shouts on a rusty cage
His wings are tired
And his feet are doomed
So he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
With a fearful trill
Of things unknown
But longed for still
And his tune is heard
On the other side of the land
For the caged bird
Sings for freedom.
Thank you
I’m really pleased you enjoyed the poem Molly. I think you can tell from your own poem which has some stunning images in it.
thank you very much
that is such a good freedom poem you should be a poet
thats awsome
Thank you so much i really enjoyed this poem. Thank you for sharing
A free bird leaps
On the enormous blue sky
and floats above the dark blue water
till the water ends
and dips his wing
in the bright white clouds
and dares to claim the wild
But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through his anger
his wings are a dark black shade
and his feet are dark orange
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
sings with a thrilling trill
of things anonymous
his long for still
and his tune is heard
on the radio
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
The free bird thinks of another bird
and the nests through the dark green trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn
and names the sky his own
Thank you Albert. I like your use of colours to create a contrast between the black and orange.
The three birds are leap in the beg to caged
Dear, Micheal Walsh I really love Caged bird we did it on 12/10/20 Violet class have made they’re own versions Year 5 & they are amazing I can show my version. A free bird leaps
On the ground
And floats in the clear blue water
Until the water ends
And dips his wing In the Violet sky
And dare to claim the free sky as his territory
But a bird that stalks
Down his narrow cage
Can seldom see through
His clear dark see through cage
His wings are a dark shad of grey
His feet is as fluffy cloud
So he opens his throat to sing
The caged bird sings
With a tingly trill
Of things he will do
But longed for stilled
His tune is heard
On the green mountains
For the caged bird
Sings for freedom
Hi Yahya,
I’m so pleased you enjoyed Dr Angelou’s poem. I really like it too.
Your poem is wonderful too with lots of memorable expression. I hope you feel proud of it.
Great poem
A free bird leaps
on the ground
and floats in the air
till the wings end
Thank you for your poem. It’s interesting to reduce the length of your poem and make it shorter. Your poem feels more like a short glimpse like an observation.
really enjoyable and teaches how to live in the world
I feel like this poem is about people who fell restricted by their own words or actions .
I really liked this poem Because that the author doesn’t only talk about the caged bird the author talks about the surroundings and the free bird.
a free bird leaps on the thin grass and floats the light air and dips her wing in the stream and dares to claim the nest above
Thank you Latoya. If you use line breaks your poem will be even better.
Hope is the thing with joy that perches in tree and sings the tune without the bell and
never stops anymore and the sweetest bird is heard and sore must be the honey that
could help the little bird,that kept so many loved ive heard the bird flap in the distance.
sleeping on tree but no longer to heard the bird is alone with no sound and no tune no
heart but soon the the little bird will become free
Thank you Roman. You use the structure of the original poem but your changes make it unique.
Thank you so much i really enjoyed this poem.
