Allegory of the Cave Sonnet

What's the difference between light and dark?
The light is filled with vision and insight
And the dark is not the right
The prisoners can only see
Only to some certain degree
Their eyes fool their brain
Which now they are restrained
Now they cannot embark

The only way out
Is through the intellectual route
And one must introspect
In order for real life to take effect
Life is not all about isolation
It works through self motivation and self determination

  2. Lester, I love your last two lines, they perfectly tie your whole sonnet together. You showed that you know how to write a sonnet and that you understand the allegory. Great job!

  3. It was a nice change to read your sonnet. Most other people wrote their's in the Shakespearean style, but you didn't! I really enjoyed the first two lines of your second stanza. I feel that it is something that we can all relate two since from an early age we have all chosen the intellectual route.

    I really like the background of your blog. It is calming and simple. I will have to check out your blog posts and what you have written more often! How will you plan to start reviewing for the final? Come check my blog out at ksagisirhsenglitcomp.blogspot.com

  4. Yeah you did the Petrarchan Sonnet too! I like how it runs smoothy and the rhymes, only thing I would suggest is to place more iambs.

  9. I like how your Sonnet is focusing on the prisoners point of view. By the way I like how your background is an open sky. It makes you think that the sky is the limit.
