Allegory of the Cave Sonnet

Prisoners locked up
No sense of reality,
Because knowing the truth
Can be such a calamity.

So much knowledge
In so little time,
But who knew the leadership
Could require such climb.

Taking the plunge
To reveal the great wonders,
Is too often held back
With the fear of encumbers.

Deviating from the norm is hard at first,
But take action early to avoid being immersed.

  2. Lovin' it Megan! Especially the last two lines: "Deviating from the norm is hard at first/But take action early to avoid being immersed." Very nice way of putting it! :) Nice job!

  3. I like the pace of your poem, but I think the rhyming scheme is a bit off. It sounds really good though so I wouldn't change it. Could you comment to my blog as well please?

  7. This was well written Megan! The rhyming was good and the only thing that needed work was the iambic pentameter.
