In the cave they live lost in the shadows,
Torn from reality to live in chains
And the dim fire from behind them glows
By looking they break loose and feel the pains
An enlightenment he will then receive
Blinded by the light he cowers in fear
Realizing all his life he's been deceived
No more distortion it all becomes clear
He wishes to share the knowledge he gained
But the others ridicule his knowledge
Until people see the light all is stained
Without truth their lives stay over the edge
The freedom the people fear yet long for
Showing in life we should all strive for more
Your sonnet definitely meets the requirements of a sonnet and deserves to be called a sonnet especially due to the amount of insight, characterization, and figurative language used within the sonnet. What can I say Dulce? You are just too flippin' amazing!
ReplyDeleteGreat Job Dulce! Like Samantha said you actually wrote a sonnet. I really like your ryhmes and diction
ReplyDeleteI like the structure of your sonnet as well as the content :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job Dulce! I enjoyed this sonnet and its content.
ReplyDeleteAs usual Dulce you did an amazing job, well above the set out standards, loved the rhyming scheme!
ReplyDeleteI think you did a really good job the rhyming was good :)
ReplyDeleteI can see you put a lot of effort into this. And if i may say so myself, it paid off. great job!(:
ReplyDeleteI like the way you described the allegory. Your rhyme scheme was very good!
ReplyDeletea little confused with the last two lines but still pretty good.
ReplyDeleteVery good use of imagery! I agree with Lizbeth. Last two lines a bit funky, but still well done!
ReplyDeleteYour structure was well presented and the ideas in the sonnet were good.
ReplyDeleteLast lines need to be fixed. Commas here and there work and fix everything relatively easily. Great Sonnet btw!
ReplyDeleteGreat structure and rhyming scheme... I really like your sonnet, Great Job, Dulce!!
ReplyDeleteI really like your sonnet! It was written very well and you definitely have the grasp of what a sonnet is(:
ReplyDeleteI agree with chanel. It has great use of diction, and you obviously understand the allegory well!
ReplyDeleteReally great because you did it iambic pentameter, which some people didn't remember. Deep meaning and I am so jealous of your writing skills (teach me!).
ReplyDeleteVery artistic and poetic.. Very good sonnet. :) A good poetic summarization of the Allegory of the Cave!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! I loved what you got from the allegory, and especially how you conveyed it in your sonnet.
ReplyDeleteThank you! (:
DeleteGreat sonnet, the best one I've read so far. Seems like you got more from "Allegory of the Cave" then most.
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks a lot Ryan! (:
DeleteVery smooth to read and shows that you understand the allegory very well. The only line that I can't seem to get is the "all is stained" one. I'm probably just missing something but I wish I knew what it means for everything to be "stained"
ReplyDeleteYou got everything for the sonnet (even the iambic pentameter I think :0) Great job.
I used stains to symbolize the blackness and blotches of figures they were seeing in the cave. I don't know if that clears it up but thanks!(:
Deletegreat job! its easy to read and enjoy :) very creative! please comment on minee :)http://danig14.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI liked the line "until people see the light all is stained" it was very powerful! Also kudos for use of iambic pantameter!
ReplyDeleteYour sonnet is great! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely one of the best I have read. I applaud you for attempting iambic pantameter. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThis sonnet summarizes the theme in an great way. good job

What a great sonnet Dulce! The last words all rhyme nicely with each other and the last two lines really caught my attention.
ReplyDeleteWritten in a very detailed way. Your way of writing the words together flowed nicely. You did a great job!
