Countless poets have written about freedom, but I rarely appreciate such poems. However, I must say that your poem is excellent. I can imagine myself as the mourning dove, envying all the peacocks around me, haha. You state that the dove has forged bars for itself. Well, I believe that whenever I have negative thoughts, I am also trapping myself. Lolz, I would like to set myself free from all negative thoughts. :)

hmm. at first, i thought this was a bit over-dramatic.. but then i realized that you needed the cage. this probably isn't making a whole lotta sense, sorry! its a great poem, i think that the peacock is also a little mourning dove, under the fake beauty. still not making ny sense.. perhpas.. sorry.. awesome poem!

Wow, what a pretty poem!

I like the line about the peacock's tail being fake. I think it sends a powerful message.

Keep writing!
