The Panther

November 3, 2010 by cgiannakopoulos

Although this poem is very short I actually liked it a lot. It packed a punch shall we shall? The imagery is instantaneous, a panther roaming in his cage reminds me of my visits to the zoo when I was a child.  This poem is talking about how the panther is caged in and cannot do anything about it and for one split second he feels the urge to free himself but ultimately cannot.  Such a powerful creature being so easily detained in his cage, reminds me of men in business suits, they don’t really want to be in a suit sitting behind a desk but because of society’s standards they must.
