SYMPHATHY When I read this poem I felt sad and serious.It Was sad to think about how they wanted to get away but couldnt no matter how hard they tried.
When the first bird sings and the first bud opes : Birds are singing songs of spring and flowers are blooming.
I know why the caged bird beats his wing/Till is blood is red on the cruel bars : Speaker understands the birds frustration,birds knows that escape its impossible but it still beats its wing against the bar tring to get away.
Its not a carol of joy glee,but a prayer that he sends from his hearts deep core : The songs that the bird is singing are not happy ones;they are a sad pleading for freedom.
