Allusion Poem Graphic


Allusion Poem

They think that i'm mean
but i'm not
they think i'm scary
but i'm not
they think i'm a frightening
but i'm not
they think i'm cruel
but i'm not
they think i'm monster
but i'm not

I grew faster than a weed
always bigger than everyone around me
afraid that I would hurt someone
strong enough to hold my ground
being misunderstood because of my size
judged by what's on the outside
scared and teased
my appearance isn't what it seems
Im nice
and not mean

undeterred by what people think
always pleased to help
willing to sacrifice for what's right
believes in good
I have no anger or resentment
been kind to everyone
brave enough to take on new challenges
want to change the outlook of what people see
Big doesn't mean, mean
don't judge a book by its cover

They think i'm brave
I am
they think i’m kind
I am
they think i'm gentle
I am
they think i'm selfless
I am
they think i'm a hero
I am

A Poem with An Allusion

Nature's first green is gold, 
Her hardest hue to hold. 
Her early leaf's a flower; 
But only so an hour. 
Then leaf subsides to leaf. 
So Eden sank to grief, 
So dawn goes down to day. 
Nothing gold can stay.     
What is the allusion why did they use it and what you like about the poem 
The allusion if this poem is the story of Adam and even in edens garden and how they were living great until eve had eaten a fruit from the tree that they weren't supposed to eat from.  They used this allusion because they wanted to get the point across that no matter how good something seems it will always fade and that nothing good last forever.  The things that I like about this poem is the message that it sends.
