What Polly Found In Her Stocking by Louisa May Alcott. I chose this poem because it has great imagery and I enjoyed reading it. The first line really gives you an image of what is going on. “With the first pale glimmer, of the morning red.” There is also some metaphors in the poem “And she flew out of bed” that is a metaphor for she got out of bed quickly. I also like this line because it sets the mood for the poem and it really shows you how its Christmas morning and its cold out “Through Jack Frost ‘s cold fingers Nipt her little toes” that line is metaphor for it’s cold out. “Long blue and full; Down it quickly tumbled with a hasty pull” I think that is an excellent description of her stocking. There is also alliteration in the poem “There she sat at daylight Hugging close dear dolly; Eating, looking, laughing” there was also some great imagery in that line as well. I think this poem really shows people what Christmas morning is like for kids.
