Allegory of the Cave Sonnet

Prisoners linked by their shackle
Stuck staring at shadows
While footsteps behind them crackle
Oblivious to the upcoming battle

Hidden from the light
Though the sun was wide
It was hard to sight
They needed a guide

Their guide, the freed
Now filled with glee
Would be the one to lead
The prisoners to the free.

However, they did not understand the actuality
Of this new reality.

  2. I liked how you broke up your stanzas and made it clear that it was a Shakespearean sonnet, it was also very well written.

    Two in one comment, I really like your blog and the font you chose to use. How are you going to study for vocabulary? http://jfowlerenglit.blogspot.com/

  3. I really enjoyed the figurative language you used! Your sonnet was well written!

    I really like the flower background you have on your blog, and the grey box for text really makes it stand out! I was wondering if you are doing you final project in a group, or just collaboratting and doing it yourself?

  6. Bailey, I really liked your rhyme scheme that you used in your sonnet. Your rhyming was used used throughout the entire piece and that was unique from all of the other ones I have read.

    I really enjoy the theme of your blog. The colors that you used are two of my favorite colors. I would like to know how are you planning on studying the hundreds of words that we learned this semester! Check out my blog at ksagisirhsenglitcomp.blogspot.com

  7. Amazing figurative language incorporated into this intense Shakespearean Sonnet! It felt like you understood what was happening in the minds of the prisoners and it felt that way!
