The poem I'm reading tomorrow is called Difference. At first I chose this poem because I like things about the mind; psychology is really interesting to me. I thought it was about the different parts of one persons mind or was just really trippy at first, but after reading it several times I saw that I was wrong. The author is comparing two people's minds, his and anothers I'm guessing.
I connected with the poem a lot once I figured this part out, and then decided to make it mine. I see it as comparing a mind like mine that has seen ugly destruction and heard things no one wants to in it's past, and how those memories affect everything I see now verses a fresh, innocent mind like that of a baby who knows nothing but of beautiful discoveries and love.
As far as my presentation goes, I don't want to plan out every single voice or movement I'm going to be doing, because I don't really want it to look rehearsed. I want it to look like it comes from me without me having to think about it too much, because that's what makes a person understand a poem. Or at least how I come to understand one.
