A short collection of poems I wrote for my college poetry portfolio. I experimented with imagery/descriptive language, figurative languages, metaphors, alliteration/assonance, repetition, and even wrote a Shakespearean sonnet.
Overview of each poem:
Power Outage - Freeform poem about a blackout I experienced in my hometown at the end of January 2021.
Community Center - Image-filled poem about my partner and him practicing radio
Ballerina - Poem playing with imagery, end rhyme, internal rhyme, and parallel structure while talking about my experience as a ballerina
Lilo the Leopard Gecko - Comparative figurative language and alliteration to describe my pet leopard gecko
Abandoned - Experimented with metonymy, imagery, and parallelism; this poem is told from the perspective of my rescue dog
Grandpa - Shakespearean sonnet about being in my grandpa's wood shop after he passed
