Poem of the Week: Adrianna Y., Aiton Elementary School

During the winter, we will highlight just a handful of the original poems that students wrote during the fall season and performed at the 17th Annual DC SCORES Poetry Slam! in early December. To watch any performance from the Slam!, visit our YouTube channel.

Courage
Courage is opportunity, take it
Courage is beautiful, appreciate it
Courage is daring, face it
Courage is like a soccer game, play it
Courage is trouble, overcome it
Courage is a battle, confront it
Courage is risky, stand up to it
We have no fear!!! We are fearless
