New Found Freedom Poem by Samantha DeWitt

New Found Freedom



The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
As I walk slowly up the hill
Not knowing yet what I am to do
He doesn't cease his trill to coo
The frantic notes
The flapping wings
My arms like totes
As I hold this thing
A top the hill
There is a tree
The caged bird continues his trill
Though it's too dark to see
I open the door of the cage
And out he flew in a happy rage

The story behind this poem is simple, I entered a contest on all poetry and my prompt was a quote by Maya Angelou... 'The caged bird sings with a fearful trill' I have found that by entering such contests put on by other poets it is in itself a kind of muse.... hope you enjoy 'New Found Freedom'
