8th graders at Washington wrote poems using anaphora, or repetition of the beginning of the line, after reading M. Scott Momaday's "The Delight Song of Tsoai-Talee"

I am the water that flows through in the ocean
I am the mountains that tower over people
I am the bird that can't fly
I am the was that never happens
I am a blue cow that can't make blue milk
I am the homework that eats the dog
I am a book with no story
I am a tail that never wags
I am a snowflake in a thunderstorm
I am a snowflake that falls in the summer
I am a leaf with no tree
I am paper that needs one more line
I am the name that is never spoken
Laura V.
I am the one who takes care of you even though you can't see me
I am the warmth that builds up in you when you're cold
I am the tree that covers you from the blazing sun
I am the covers that keep you nice and warm
I am the person that will guide or follow every step you take
I am the courage that will motivate you
I am the person that will be there at night to tell you everything is alright
I am the wind that will push you toward your future
I am the shelter that will protect you from harm
I am the person who bring happiness t your life, family and dreams
Jasmine H.
I am the scissors that
cut through the girls arm
I am the broken hearted man
that sits on the corner
I am the strength of everybody
that gets abused
I a m the nothingness to
everythingness
I am the shelter to every
homeless person
I am the peace to world
peace.
