I believe it is a claim because it does focus on the main idea and what the text/passage should be about. If not I deeply apologize.
In the poem "To an Athlete Dying Young" by A. E. Housman, the author uses metaphors in lines 11-12 to describe the athlete's short-lived and glorious life. The laurel flower represents glory and victory, and have a shorter lifespan than roses. This metaphor implies that fame and honor does not last long.
