Erin -

Great line, "...our world is a cage..." Surrealism at its' finest!

"Crow Nightmare"… A surreal depicting of the reality of our today's society that accepts to be caged and think to have freedom.

This poem is like a plume of the Great Eagle prodding the wings of good sense to fly to the Mountain of Justice, and SHOUT: ((((((((((((((LEGISLATORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF GOVERNMENT, PEOPLE, RESPECT AND OBEY THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, or You are going to send Your kids to the SLAVEYARD in two more Presidential Mandates))))))))))))

I Salute You, Sublime Poet!

Please erase my prior review.

an excellent poem on humanity's "desperate" attempt to escape from the powers of confinement ...

Bright questions, Erin. Excellent depth in this expression. I once witnessed a crow peck a tiny downy kildeer to death, then eat it. The kildeer's cage was it's lack of maturity to escape. Our cage is probably our minds that can see no way to escape our mortality. The difference between us, crows and kildeers is that our minds are inventive enough to devise myriad escape solutions for our cage.

A very humbling feeling to be constrained by a world we thought we knew all about. I suppose there will always be fences we can never get through.

powerful, chilling write, thought provoking and emotional...i don't know what to say but AWESOME write--thank you

(((HUGS))) and love, karla. :(

WHOA, ERIN! This great little write has such a powerful impact! It made me shudder.
"Its sun-glossed eye
transfixed her with its desperation,
pierced her soul with its futility.
Our world
is a cage
in a zoo."

A million thoughts come to mind. Are we not the builders of both cages?

symbolic and thought provoking write; very well done, erin! (((HUGS)))

Our world
is a cage
in a zoo.

How saddly true, Erin, in far too many ways.
