I just finished reading her book by the same name. There have been times in
my life that I have been ashamed of being white...but never like when I
read this book. If I could take away (with an apology) everything the white
race has done to other races I would. Unfortunately, you can change
everything about you except your race, and I'm not too proud of mine right
now.

This poem is deep in-deed!!! It was the most true-to-life, touching and all
at the same time slap-you-in-the-face poem I have EVER read. These things
combined make it powerful. After reading the comments and then reading it
again I believe that it not only speaks to those of us that are black, but
even Christians. This poem is deep. I would love to meet with Ms. Angelou
and find out what she was thinking and her heart-felt thoughts on it.

This poem basically says that the free bird takes his freedom for granted,
but if it was caged, it would aprreciate being free alot more.

Doing an essay on this poem. I'm very knowledgable about the poem but verse
4 is very hard. Can someone analyse it for me or at least tell me what
trade winds is?

I have read this poem many times and never thought it had anything to do
with race. I read the book also. I think its about being inhibited in one
way or another. Here the author is trying to explain process of drowning.
There is no need to tell how or why the person got into the water or what
he need to do to get. What she does offer is two people in the water. One
can swim and one cant. She doesn't offer a solution for the cage bird, just
the status of his being. Its the plight of the cage bird that important
here. Its any body story.In the end its not about the cause or solution its
about being. They won't put it on her TOMB so i wil say it here....MAYA
ANGELOU is greatest poet of our tim. Her ability to convey both thoughts
and emotions through words i think is unequal. Just my opinion.

I had read this poem many times and admired it for its literary genius and
symbolism. I came across it again recently, and it has taken on a whole
new meaning for me, as I am going through a period of major depression. I
can relate my pain and dispair with the caged bird, and know that I have to
break free of the "cage" of depression so that I can again "leap on the
back of the wind." Thank you, Maya, for giving me a way to see what I need
to do.
