During this session of the Chicago Poetry Center residency at Moos Academy, students stretched their imaginations to imagine themselves as superheroes.
Students were encouraged to imagine a world where they have more power to create change and do strange things.

I am a superhero,
I can teleport around the world.
I can read people’s minds.
I can go back in time.
I can move things around with my mind.
I can make my hair look like snakes.
I can move a person to another state.
I can go to another time.
I can make class go faster.

I am a superhero.
I can transform into a monster truck.
I can teleport to school.

I’m a neon werewolf.
My power is I take ten things and turn them neon!
Every time.
If I was hungry I would teleport blueberries,
and if I was rich I would teleport gold,
and turn it into neon gold.

If I was a superhero,
I would be an angel and go up to heaven.
I would also help the homeless,
and I would be the smartest person,
and I could have all the money in the world,
and I would have the power of teleportation.,
and be invisible so I can hide,
and I would change the weather.

If I was a superhero,
I would make toys for kids.
I would give food to the people who are homeless.
I would be a fast swimmer,
fly to save people,
make slim fast make kids happier faster,
I give homeless people water when they are thirsty,
and give money to people who need it.
If I had a secret power…

My superpower is changing sugar into strength.
If I had superpowers I would turn into a rock monster
and have the power of creation.
