Traveling Across the Bridge

Chloe L.

  • My poetry demonstrates the ambivalent feeling I had when being at an airport in China, ready to travel to the United States to start my new life. The story happened in the summer of 2022. At that time, I was not certain whether I was ready for the change in my life. I feared that I would not be able to adjust to the new environment, with foreign languages and not-yet-meet friends. I would also miss being in China, where is my hometown. However, I shook my fear off my mind, and decided to step onto the plane and became excited and curious for my life in America.

    My poetry is written base on the Shakespeare's sonnet. However, I also broke some conventions in order to convey the message of the poem in the way that I wanted.

  • Creativity opens up my perspective and allows me to think outside of the box. It creates a space for me to express myself and find my true feelings.
