Taniya Franklin · Answer 1

floats downstream, the trade winds soft, and dawn-bright lawn

Explanation:

Hi, after reading the poem I find the following three ideas as metaphors representing freedom.

A bird that 'floats downstream' is not tied to a cage, it is being carried by nature. This poem is comparing a free bird to one in a cage at all times.

'the trade winds soft' is also used in a paragraph describing a free bird and the way it flies freely when it thinks of another breeze. In a cage, it would go nowhere.

'dawn bright lawn' is the surface where the bird can find his food (fat worms) instead of seeds given to birds in a cage.

"floats downstream

dawn-bright lawn""

The above excerpt of """The Cages Bird""can be interpreted as part of the extended metaphor that represents freedom.
