Song of the Sky Loom" tells the reader about the Tewa universe. The Tewa's use forms of tone, diction, imagery, detail, language and universal application to create an image of their universe.
             The Tewa's tone in this poem has a positive and passionate tone. "Song of the Sky Loom" speaks about the Tewa universe and how it works. The Tewa people work hard for their gods. They bring the gods the gifts they love. In return, the Tewa people want a garment of brightness. "Song of the Sky Loom" uses conceit, frame and cadence. The frame begins and ends with "O our Mother the Earth, Our Father the Sky.

The imagery is very enthusiastic throughout the poem. When the Tewa's speak about "the white light of morning, the red light of evening, the falling rain, and the standing rainbow." All of these things, one can picture being bright drawn out and being very bright, in ones eyes or mind. Also when the poem states that "then weave for us a garment of brightness," the Tewa's are wanting eternal life in heaven.
