Allusion Poem- "Looking Around"

It is simply illogical.

This world I’m in,

It’s strange

It’s new

It’s changing


Curiosity and determination

compel me to venture forward


Steps get awkward

I feel clumsy

How is it possible to feel so out of place?


Let me out of this

‘dream-world’

I want to escape.


With a stroke of luck

I’ve found a way to fit in

(although it must have been something I ate)

It works too well,

now the world is big around me

as if I were shrinking

People intimidate

Problems complicate


Yet,

When I’m small

I see simplicity.

doors close,

but another just appears

getting back on my feet,

colors change

saturated to vivid


On second thought,

I wouldn’t mind going down that rabbit hole again

Through my portfolio I showed that I am able to meet the standards in the 6 writing traits. Although I can't say I enjoyed putting together this portfolio, I'm sorta glad I did this assignment because its a collaboration of my best work in the first semester.
