First, how about a lion poem by a middle school student? ¿O debería decir un poema de león?
"El León" by A.O. - age 12, MD |
This older poet used his bilingual skills to compose a poem using both Spanish and English. What a musical first line, full of /m/ and /l/ sounds! ¡Qué primera línea musical, llena de sonidos /m/ y /l/! And do you notice how he contrasted the softness of the lion's mane with the sharpness of its teeth? ¿Y notas cómo contrastó la suavidad de la melena del león con la agudeza de sus dientes?
You can read more bilingual animal poems in the book FLUTTER & HUM, by Julie Paschkis.
