Allusion Poetry: Into The Woods (Draft)


Into The Woods
Skipping briskly through the forest
Not a clue of her surroundings and
Seeing everything in white
Oh, everything’s so bright!
She says, but little did she know….

Walk straight and strictly follow your destination,
Momma said. Without questions, she obeyed
But momma never mentioned anything about trust
She was young
Full of life and radiance
Not seeing the evil in the world

The wolf in its natural habitat
While Red is a foreigner entering the shadows
She illuminated the darkness
Which captured all the wolf’s attention
He knew she didn’t belong
So the big bad wolf prepared itself to strike

It was manipulative and selfish
Only nurturing for itself
It has a tainted heart
With bricks securely surrounding it
That’s why the wolf targeted the trusting

She was naïve but carried a pure soul
The wolf steadily gained her trust
After the wolf imputed instructions to her
And after obeying the wolf’s commands
The wolf knew it got its prey right on the palm of its hands

The wolf blew her innocence down
It sucked out all the liveliness in her body
And left her in the abyss
The wolf thought it succeeded
But everyone knows the wicked will never get its happy endings

The wolf was ignorant of her competence
She successfully escaped the wolf but was never the same
Her brain was first unsorted
The wolf stained her spirit,

But she soon adapted to be lionhearted

  1. Nice allusion. I can clearly tell that you're talking about Little Red Riding Hood, so thats good! The only thing I suggest is that you continue to write in the same point of view throughout the whole poem. At times it gets confusing but I could tell what you were trying to say. Also, there are some grammatical corrections that would make your poem so much better! Good Job! (:
