Summary for “The Delight Song of Tsoai Talee”

# data[].attributes.body
In Navarre Scott Momoday's poem "The Delight Song of Tsaoi Talee", Momoday represents his reverence for nature. With the spiritual diction he employs, and the personification he gives to the different landscapes and animals, nature seems to hold a divine presence in his life. Coming from the Kiowa tribe, the praise he expresses for nature is rooted in the tribe's belief that nature is a force. Momoday portrays that he, himself, is the force.

I want to use this poem because I like the rhythm of it and the simple but deep words used.
prelude

by Nate Marshall

he must’ve moved out

the neighborhood when i was little.

when he was here i bet he could ball,

probably could dunk.

maybe he rap now.

maybe he is the boy on every wall.

we ain’t got graffiti over here

like for real art stuff but maybe

in the 80s he was optimistic. this was his all

city attempt all over the hood.

maybe he ain’t a he.

in the time before the Folks

Nation ran everything over here

maybe the presiding clique was RIP.

i see it everywhere:

RIP Pierre

RIP Bird

RIP D

RIP Man Man

maybe RIP is a girl.

i see her name next to all

the bad boys. all the big boys

my mama told me not to fool with.

maybe she’s all they girlfriends

at once. but they all

gone. no wonder

she keep finding new boys

to kiss.

THE LETTER - BY BO BURNHAM

" I wrote you a letter,
and then another letter,
and another, and another,
until I wrote you a word.

So I wrote you a word,
and then another word,
and another, and another,
until I wrote you a sentence.

So I wrote you a sentence,
and then another sentence,
and another, and another,
until I wrote you a letter.

I hope it finds you as I found you.

Yours truly,
Yours, truly."

-Bo Burnham

since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;
wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world

my blood approves,
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don’t cry
—the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids’ flutter which says

we are for each other: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life’s not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis

I like this poem because the imagery is rife with images most would find beautiful and relaxing.
