A Teary Eyed Widow- A Sequel To My Poem Within The Cage Poem by Valsa George

The pain of a widowed bird so poignantly captured. We pinion them mercilessly and does not understand the pain they undergo. Hope she hasn't forgotten her song. This poem is a sweet song that tells of a very sad tale. Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought - didn't the poet say so? And what a coincidence - it was only yesterday I commented on Maya Angelou's The Caged Bird Sings and drew a comparison there to our Malayalam's Balamani Amma's Koottilitta Kili (The Caged Bird) , which clamours for freedom to soar into the open skies and be with its companions.....10

A heart wrenching poem expressing the loneliness being felt after losing the life partner. The uselessness of everything on earth is felt with a gloom at the loss of love which is not repairable by any means....10

An impressive and heart touching sad poem........................

The bird after losing her feathery companion is pining away and so she should be allowed to find her space and place under the sky. Your ending stanza comes with a solution, which is very apt to the situation. A brilliant poem which straightaway touches the heart.

A sad and beautiful read, birds of a feather flock together, but what happens when one is forced to go at it alone? I love the ending because it is hopeful. A great story of a poem, well done.

Her lonesome state leaves me so agitated I don’t want to see her any more isolated I shall let her fly into the freedom of the sky With new companions, let her soar high! ..., touching inscription having a human soul with empathy. Marvelous work.

A touching and thoughtful poem..............................................

This is like an emotional tale having potential to blossom into a saga of epic proportions. The sorrow of the lady bird (?) has been felt and treated with ultimate human touch. Her personal pain and tragedy assume the form of a universal mourning. Let us hope that her freedom from the cage bring solace to her tormented soul. Thanks.

I love this poem about marital bliss, bereavement and loneliness. I love the way the poem had me thinking of all the lonely people there are in the world. It's so clever to humanise these birds, making us appreciate that our feathered friends have emotions whilst covering the widespread problem of loneliness. Wonderful - now a favourite of mine.

She had a partner to share her joy and woe With him, all else she was ready to fore go a joy of oneness blessed with love to Him a sparrow in a sorrow mood When his body from the cage was removed She beat her wings as if in sorrow drowned I love to be with this poetess for a prayer to enyoy...
