Extended Metaphor Poem

Austin Bobbitt
English 1-4

I might just be the average
fifteen year old athlete with
the large, broad body frame.
But sometimes I can be more
than that.
I’m not a straight A student or am I
in the top 10 percent of my class.
But I am a jacked up F250
sometimes I am impossible to
get going and don’t want to crank up.
I’m scraping the bottom of my tank for fuel
just to keep moving forward.
whenever I break down someone has
to come help get me back up.
But on a good day
my engine roars ferociously
shaking the ground as I roar
When trying to get me going
it might take a couple of cranks before
I turn over, just keep trying, and trying
and trying
This big framed fifteen year old with
the gift of being an athlete, is a
truck, a wide framed, jacked up F250
