An Ode to Loki

By Isabel Layman

 

The trickster

Brother of Thor Odinson

Adopted

Brinigs chaos

To every planet

Like a newborn

Left alone

Or a nightmarish

Snowstorm

The God of Mischief

Determined

Never stops

Until he’s free of the reins

Keeping him held back

Like and animal

Always creating touble

Just wanting to be

An equal

Born on another planet

Jotunheim

World of the giants

Cold and dark

An outcast

Like a new kid

Or the kids in the less popular clubs

Misinterpreted

Only ever desired

To be king

And ruler

In charge

As in a dictator

But as of now

He’s gone

Never got

What he wanted

The outsider

Trying so hard

To be something special

Only to

Bequeath

The universe

To death

 

 

  1. I wrote an ode
  2. I chose this subject for my ode because I love Loki and his story.
  3. The tone of my poem is melancholy.
  4. The theme of my poem is that people trying to be something special can try so hard just to fail in the end.
  5. “Brings chaos to every planet like a newborn left alone”. This type of figurative language is a simile. It contributes to the tone and theme by showing that Loki brings a great amount of trouble wherever he goes.
  6. “An outcast, like a new kid”. This is also a simile. It contributes by showing that Loki is different like a new kid at a new school.
  7. Writing this poem was fairly easy because I know a lot about him and I liked writing about him because he is one of my favorite marvel characters.
  8. I am pretty satisfied with my final draft because I feel is showcased my best work and I tried my hardest to have good elevated word choices.
