This work has reached the exceptional level

This is such a beautiful Haiku.
The imagery is beautiful and matches the words perfectly.
I feel the trapped spirit of the bird and its' longing to be as free as a butterfly.
Sadly it would be short lived.
Blessings
Shirley

I can see the cage resembling a cocoon and the once free it's a beautiful butterfly. I think people are often in their self-caused cage but are capable of freeing themselves. Thank you for sharing this with us.

This also can be applied to people as well when we are put into a cage of other peoples thinking of what we should do we want to be fridge so that we can fly just as a butterfly does. Patricia.

What a lovely poem and a butterfly GIF. It's a very lovely poem about the dream of a cages bird. The butterfly GIF made the poem very dynamic.

Well done.

I can see how this may be. Not much room in a cage. That said though, the butterfly, cocoon-free flits from danger on every flight. ...............................................

I like your modern haiku- nice picture presentation- good word count and connection between lines- your concept is sound- being caged in life by circumstance makes most yearn for greener pastures - interestingly- magically thinking that all their problems would be solved- everyone is in a different cage in life with there own set of problems to overcome- perhaps the reason for- "count your blessings!!Good job AP

Oh, this is a delightful haiku. So short, as haikus are, and yet so simple - a caged bird wanting to be a butterfly. Freedom in its sights beyond the metal confines. This is a very well thought out poem and a pleasure to read.

That's a striking comparison because birds eat butterflies. I guess the lack of freedom feels to the bird that it would rather be the free prey instead of the locked up predator.
