Throughout history the Blackbird was always a message of warning, bringing forth great peril or striking news. When I first read the Blackbird poem I pictured the Blackbird to be blind, an eerie message of the all seeing not being able to see. In it’s mouth it holds an eye, is it their own? is it a humans? or is it just a metaphor on how we view the world. I implore you to think of this piece and let your own imagination run wild.
