Allusion Poem: Draft

Braiding my brown hair into two piggy tails

Putting on my blue checkered dress

Looking over the rainbow

Where blue birds fly

Following the road will lead me to success

Following the road will help me find friendship

Taking my first step on my journey

My slippers shine bright on a rainy day

When the skies is gray my slippers turn red

Can’t wait to start this journey, but not myself

Remembering what great times we have together as a family

But not knowing when we can see each other once again

Walking down the road, seeing farm for miles

No one in sight, no friends I see, no

Thinking about what the great things will come

In my mind wanting to

Seeing my family glowing in green, telling me to come to them

Knowing that they are so far away

Giving people a helping hand, when people are at there lowest point

My friends had no brain, no heart, and no courage to do anything in the world

Taking my friends to somewhere where their dreams can come true

A place where they can get a brain, a heart, and courage

But continuing to get home sick and wanting to be with my family once again

I click the heels of my slippers three times 

 There’s no place like home, There’s no place like home

Remembering what great times we have together as a family

Laughing, crying, smiling, being together once again

Unbraiding my braids after a long and stressful journey

And I can’t wait for the next journey to come
