1. Imagery words that describe any of the 5 senses in a creative, unique way
You should be able to tell how the poet feels based on his or her word choice
I know what the caged bird feels, alas!
When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,
And the river flows like a stream of glass;
When the first bird sings and the first bud opes*
And the fain perfume from its chalice steals—
I know what the caged bird feels!
For he must fly back to his perch and cling
When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;
And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars
And they pulse again with a keener sting--
I know why he beats his wing!
Symbolism- What might a caged bird symbolize?
How do you know this?
