Chained prisoners forced to look on the wall of the cave
Lights flicker as living creatures pass through the dark
To look only at the wall as if they are in their grave.
The prisoners were to only see the shadows the fire spark
The ignorance in the minds of the slaves
The unknown about the outside world or reality
They are bound to be forever in the caves
Narrow minded men who Plato pity
One prisoner let out into the open fields
The shadows are no longer projected on the wall
A newly discovered world revealed
Where green trees and leaves fall
The new aspects of knowledge discovered
Freedom is granted, the enlighten prisoners are no longer anchored
Really nice sonnet, Miki! I like your rhyming scheme and use of imagery for the cave and reality. Overall, I'd say it's very sonnet-ish.
ReplyDeleteOr sonnet-esque
DeleteThank you Brenna! I will accept sonnet-esque :)
DeleteOr sonnet-ey? @Brenna. But anyway I'm glad you didn't get feeley with it, it was strait forward enough to hold my attention and it had a catchy rhyming scheme. It was also structured far better than mine

Great sonnet! I like the simile you used of "as if they are in their grave."
ReplyDeleteIn addition, your blog looks very classic and organized. For some reason, those are the words that pop into my mind when I see it. As for the final, why do you think that Plato used a cave as a component for his metaphor? Check out my blog here..
