My Dog Stella
L. Han
My Stella follows me everywhere I go
Sometimes, in the library
she rises like the sun
from behind the notebook pile
5
just to steal a glance, I know,
and to make me smile.
One morning, I arrived at school
Without homework, like a fool
Forlorn, I sank into my chair
10
I did not want to be there
And then I heard a woof I knew
Stella came into my view
With my notebook in between her teeth
She rose like the sun that day
15
In the quiet hallway
She was my hero and my knight
She is my joy and my light
Read the metaphors in lines 16 and 17.
She was my hero and my knight
She is my joy and my light
