You may choose the style of your poem. It could be a sonnet, a dramatic monologue, an ode, an elegy, a lyric poem, or your own style. Your poem must be at least 12 lines long. You must use some form of rhyme scheme. The poem should depict a theme of the Victorian era, such as optimism for a changing society, a realistic view of the world, or the Naturalistic idea of uncontrollable fate. In your poem, use strong imagery to describe the setting, AND at least one other literary element, such as metaphor, onomatopoeia, personification, etc. Be sure to give your poem a creative title that suits the ideas of the poem.
\nThe Wheels of Progress<\/p>\n
Amidst the clanking of gears and wheels,
\nThe chiming of bells and ringing of steel,
\nThe sound of progress echoes in the air,
\nAs we forge a new future, bold and fair.<\/p>\n
With steam and coal, we power the world,
\nOur machines and factories, ever unfurled,
\nAs we march towards a brighter tomorrow,
\nLeaving behind the pain and sorrow.<\/p>\n
The smokestacks rise to the sky,
\nA symbol of progress, never to die,
\nAs we build our cities, high and tall,
\nAnd pave the way for one and all.<\/p>\n
But progress comes at a cost,
\nThe price of growth, a line we\u2019ve crossed,
\nAnd as we gaze upon the fruits we\u2019ve sown,
\nWe must ask ourselves, are we truly grown?<\/p>\n
For in the wake of all this progress,
\nLies the remnants of our own distress,
\nThe waste and pollution, the price we pay,
\nFor the wheels of progress to turn each day.<\/p>\n
So let us not forget the price we\u2019ve paid,
\nAs we march forward, unafraid,
\nFor the future lies in our own hands,
\nTo build a world, that forever stands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
