Poetry is an expression of one’s will. What is kept in the heart is the will, but when expressed in words, it is poetry.
—“Preface to The Book of Songs”
诗者，志之所之也。
在心为志，发言为诗。
A Spring Morning
By Meng Haoran
This spring morning in bed I’m lying,
Not to awake till birds are crying.
After one night of wind and showers,
How many are the fallen flowers!
Translated by Xu Yuanchong

Why do people read poems
Poems create vivid pictures and tell stories by using language creatively. Readers enjoy the challenge of trying to understand the poet’s intention in writing a happening during the time when it was written. Readers can look at the poem’s form and literary devices to see what the poet saw. By reading it aloud, they can feel the rhythms and rhymes of the poem as well as the poet’s emotions.

The poem by Maya Angelou describes the image of a caged bird wanting to be free. The lines are short and simple, which makes the message more direct and powerful. The short lines could also imply the sense of being in a small cage with very little space to fly around in. This does not stop the bird from singing though, and by repeating the sound of some words: “trill”, “still”, and “hill” I can imagine the sound that the bird makes it sings its lonely song. “Caged Bird” reminds me of the possibilities we have in life and that we should look past our current limitations.

From my point of understand a poem better, we should also know more about the poet and the background in which the poem was created — the theme of a poem usually has a close relationship with the background in which the poet wrote it.
