I Am A Dark Light In A Room — Delight Songs @ Avondale Logandale

This week we read, The Delight Song of Tsoai-Talee, by N. Scott Momaday. I asked the students how different elements of nature could be used to describe their own emotions and the powers they possess. I encouraged the students to think about what makes them powerful. Just as gorgeous as Momaday’s original, the inspired poems by our young poets are full of power and love.

4th & 5th Grade

The Delight Song of John by John M.

I am god of earth
I am a cookie of truth
I am a cat that tears the moon
I am a speed demon of light and sound
I am an old cool tasty piece of toast
I am a killer tornado of destruction

The Delight Song of Guadalupe by Guadalupe H.

I am an angry cloud raining
I am a sad bird that doesn’t have friends
I am a bird that does not have a family
I am a dog that doesn’t have a tail
I am a happy student learning
I am an angry panda of paper
I am a panda made of paint

The Delight Song of Daniela by Daniela R.

I am a panda climbing for bamboo
I am a worm that wiggles around
I am an ant that is marching for food
I am a flower that opens for the sun
I am a porcupine so spiky
I am a dog that chases squirrels
I am a fish swimming for danger
I am an apple that hangs on a tree

The Delight Song of Daiquionna by Daiquionna F.

I am a tear washing your face
I am a color coloring the sky
I am water washing your throat
I am a bird flying through
I am a tree taller than you
I am a raindrop spitting on you
I am a flower delighting you
I am a diamond dazzling you

The Delight Song of Yelitza by Yelitza Z.

I am a color of a wolf’s fur
I am as happy as the big bright sun
I am as hungry as a dinosaur

The Delight Song of Oscar by Oscar Q.

I am a panther running into wind
I am a chicken going to scream in anger
I am a flower growing
I am a star still in silence
I am a cloud moving slowly in the sky
I am a tree growing big and strong
I am sand moving in the ground
I am a lion roaring still and loud
I am a koala sleeping calmly in morning
I am wind moving everywhere fast
I am water being shined by the sun

4th Grade

The Delight Song of Jessica by Jessica F.

I am a forest in the bright sky
I am a fish in the lake
I am a dark light in a room
I am a wolf in a darkside
I am a rose in light

The Delight Song of Jasmin by Jasmin M.

I am the volcano’s eruption
I am the rose’s red
I am the water’s waves
I am the wolf’s howl at night

The Delight Song of Jennifer by Jennifer P.

I am the rough rock in the ground
I am the rainbow colorful of color
