It builds its nest in the shape of an oven‚ which is why Frost chose to name the poem “The Oven Bird.” There was no controversy about the poem; the public accepted it without question. This particular

Egyptians had a name for "soul" (the ba)‚ which artists depicted as a human-headed bird. The association of a bird to the soul is rather interesting in that‚ to the Ancient Egyptians‚ birds had a magical power that humans did not: flight. It has also been in very recent times that humans have been obsessed with flight: the Wright Brothers and others like them‚ for example. To the Egyptian‚ the ability of flight allowed birds to soar as high as the realm of the gods. Other winged creatures appearing in

The poem "A Bird Came Down the Walk" reminds us of a nursery rhyme because of its rhyme scheme and rhythm. The poem starts with "A bird came down the walk. He did not know I saw.

With the simplicity of the plot and a sense of humor‚
