I am the wind through the sky — Delight Songs @ Darwin Elementary

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 powers. 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.

I am the roaring of the lion.

I have the power of love.

The Delight Song of Ethan by Ethan M.

I am the monster of shadow.
I am the shadow that follows the child.
I am a hungry wolf.
I am Sonic that goes fast in speed!!!!!
I am the god of the whole earth!!!!!
I make the Sonic sing and sing.
I make game and Sonic game.

The Delight Song of Vanessa by Vanessa A.

I am a ladybug flying in the blue sky.
I am full with power to help people.
I am bright like the flier.
I am bright like a rainbow.
I am bright like the sun.
I am white snow.

The Delight Song of Mia by Mia C.

I am a glitter pencil
I am a magic horse
I am a golden ticket
I am a rainbow with a ball
I am a dark shadow
I am a blue mango
