Allusion Poem Draft


She was 10. 
and already knew greater things were in store. 
People looked at her a bit differently. 
Like she was a bit strange, a bit flighty, a bit troubled. 
And she was. 
But that didn't falter her. 
She made her first get away 
into the world of euphoria and exhilaration
and from there she was hooked on that feeling. 
She was flying. 
She was free. 

Her adventures got more frightening 
as they got closer to the stars. 

Now it was time for the most monumental one. 
Warnings and cautionary tales 
were told to her 
about the dangers of the trip she was about to pursue 
for the destination in her mind 
was one so small and seeming
unattainable. 
They asked if she was wiling to take the chance 
and she nodded with confidence.
That's when she got into the plane and took off. 
Previous memories were replaced with visions of her future. 
She was making her great escape 
and she never looked back.

  2. great start! excellent allusion to amelia. One thing I suggest is trying to make it more personal, you have told us alot about her story and yes it does represent you. However, we want to know more specifics about you. MS(3+)

  3. Hi Eryn, your poem was well written! I could point out who you were alluding to and I liked how you told us her story but in a way where it still related to you.
