The connection I made with the poem was when you feel sorry for someone or your friend and want to say the right things to help them feel better and it shows that you have empathy and sympathy.
The poem is organized in three stanzas each with seven lines and the rhyming pattern is ABAABCC ABAABAA ABABBCC.
The tone of the poem makes me love animals and other creatures and to stop hurting them.
The poetic devices are simile when it says "the river flows like a stream of glass" personification when it says" the cruel bars" rhyming. Alliteration when it says" heaven he. metaphor, when it says "caged bird, feels"because it is comparing when you are in a situation and you feel like a caged bird.
The meaning of this poem is to have sympathy and empathy and respect each other in hard times.
