Humans are living in an underground cave,
Where they have their necks and legs chained
Unable to turn their heads, they remain restrained.
Down in the cave they are enslaved,
Life outside of the cave, they've never craved.
In their eyes darkness has been ingrained.
For shadows are the only form of the outside world which they've obtained.
In the cave, their knowledge will continue to be waived.
A prisoner is then released.
Outside of the cave, the light he will see.
The reality of life his eyes will feast.
The outside world has set him free.
His knowledge of reality will increase.
For enlightened he will soon be.
Hey Marisol, you sonnet is unique from the others I have seen tonight. Unlike most people (myself included) who wrote a Shakespearean Sonnet yours resembles more of an Italian Sonnet!
ReplyDeleteWhile I was on here I also wanted to comment on your blog. It looks great and really represents you and your personality. It is also easy to navigate and your work is really good quality!

Marisol! Your sonnet consist of 14 lines. 3 quartics and a couplet at the end. Nice done sticking with the structure. I really like these two lines: "Life outside of the cave, they've never craved.
ReplyDeleteIn their eyes darkness has been ingrained."
It is as if you are painting a picture for the reader.

PLEASE COMMENT TO MY SONNET!!!
I really like your sonnet! It shows that you understood the allegory. I like your rhyme scheme.
ReplyDeleteHey Marisol. I had never visited your blog before...and let me just say that I really enjoyed it :) It's very you.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the sonnet is concerned, I enjoyed reading it. Your rhyme scheme was good and it flowed well. The words didn't seem at all forced. I also liked that you went for a more Italian-style sonnet, rather than Shakespearean, which seems to have been the predominant choice today.
*gasp* Your sonnet is Petrarchan! I'm not alone, haha! You did a great job sticking to the format, and the subject transition from slavery to freedom between the octet and the sestet is spot-on. This is awesome :)
ReplyDeleteHow are you going to choose what to do for your final presentation?

Your sonnet has good rhymes in it! Your ending probably was probably the best part in my opinion. Your blog, its just you. With your animals even though you hate them. haha.
ReplyDeletehow are you going to study for the final? are you going to go by each list?
