I was inspired to make this poem from three different things, two of which are poems. The first poem is called, "Do not go gentle into that good night" (by Dylan Thomas). This poem is one of the best Villanelles ever made arguably the best one ever made which helped me get the idea to write a poem in a Villanelle rhyme scheme. The second poem that I was inspired by was a poem called, "Caged Bird" (by Maya Angelou). This Poem is a beautiful poem talking about a caged bird but instead I decided to take a different approach. I talked about an Elephant which has a different type of mindset and feelings than just a bird wanting to fly. The last thing that inspired me was an actual Elephant from a Zoo I went to a long time ago, this Elephant was separated from the rest of his family. I love Elephants for their cuteness, their intelligence, and their warm hearts. So I decided to make a poem about a caged Elephant in a zoo.
