A Trail of Breadcrumbs

by John Long   Mar 31, 2007


The Canary escaped it's perch
And died of starvation within the week.
When I escape my cage
I'm going to leave a trail of breadcrumbs.

    I love the symbolism of this piece; I'm still trying to interpret what it could mean. It doesn't need much detail, which is very unique to me since before this I never read a general poem that wasn't lacking. It's creative too. 5/5
