Keeping Things Whole by: Mark Strand
When picking this poem I just saw that it was short and would be easy to memorize, but now after going over it several times a day the point of this poem is getting clearer. It comes off as a poem about the air and a field but when you look closer you see that its about you the reader. Its explaining that everyone has a spot on this earth no matter how long or short, their here for a reason. May it be to help people or to save someone from dying or just to fill the empty air you are here for a reason.
To show all this emotion I plan on being dramatic not with me body but with my words. Such as stopping before and after important words. Although I plan on doing this the odds are it will not turn out this way. I get nervous in front of people and freeze up but at the same time I am excited to get it done with. We all have reasons for moving, I move to keep things whole.
