Allegory of the Cave Sonnet

Some remain trapped in a cave 
Knowing nothing more than shadows seen 
Others go about free 
Learning a new sense of human being 

Few prisoners are let free 
Meant to explore the outside
To view light and a sky 
But to come back to teach prisoners still inside

To become free 
Both frightful and exciting 
To experience a new world 
With a new mind expanding

The free prisoner saw what no other had seen 
And was able to then break away from his prisoner routine

    I like how it flows and rhymes. Good Job.
    Just need the ten syllables per line.

    I like how you talk about both perspectives being free and in the cave. It sounds really nice when read aloud. Could you please comment to my poem as well?

    I thought your sonnet was great! It covered all the main points in the story and even the morals in the story. Your blog is very neat and I like the style of it; very easy to see and read; simple.
    Please look at my blog and reply! Thanks

    The rhyming scheme was a little off but besides that you did a great job! Way to go!

    I feel like you tried your best on this assignment Justice! However I thought it was only 10 syllables per line but other than that great sonnet!

    Good job Justice, you understood the point of the Allegory. I would liked to see more of the couplets rhyme though. Thanks for commenting on mine.

    "To become free
    Both frightful and exciting"
    Truer words were never spoken! (or typed I guess) Great job.
