Flying Into Perspective

Birds are very relevant to this area. I suppose the connections to this poem to the community is the way birds lives are, and how that connects to the people. During this time I think we've all experiences many connections to birds and relating that to the pandemic.

This poem I created was based on the experience we’ve all had during the pandemic. Relating to birds being free and captured and how it ricochets onto one’s health and community. How a loss of freedom can affect one’s life, and the lives around them. Not only holding an individual to it, but the entire population.
I took advantage of doing a poem, which is kind of a coincidence because I got into poetry and creative writing throughout the quarantine. Starting to write my own, I wouldn’t do anything with them, but hold on to them and maybe share with a few individuals. It doesn’t fall perfectly on the board, but as long as someone can absorb the words and understand, I suppose that’s the real matter there.
