Allegory Sonnet

While in the cave we all might be
there are so many things we'll never do.
So many things still left to see
the choice to leave up to me up to you.

To see the sights you thought you'd see never,
the blinding light of burning truth.
It's the binding shackles you'll have to sever,
the ones placed upon you in ignorant youth.

Some of us will chose to stay here in darkness.
The joys of enlightenment they'll never know.
You must decide to think clear and with sharpness.
Past the shadows out of the cave we will go.

Break the chains and exit with glory,
finally the chance to write your own story.

  1. Serena I really liked your sonnet! I thought the rhyme scheme was clever and it fit the sonnet format well.
