Allusion Poem (rough draft)

There’s no doubt
that bird watching
is a favorite pastime of mine

Nature and solitude
are my escape
It brings a sense of peace and serenity to my inner self

As an athlete,
competitiveness
drives me and provides the
resolve needed to achieve a personal best

Autonomous. Boyish. And young at heart.

My love for animals
has never changed,
but has evolved greatly over the years
I will continue my duty to watch over them
For they are my lifelong comrades

Note: Allusion refers to the Greek goddess Artemis and/or her Roman equivalent Diana.
