Going From Thesis To Draft

I have read of the difficulties that my fellow classmates have faced in creating the thesis statements. In my opinion, initially formulating the thesis statement was the easy part. It was much more difficult to take the original thesis and create a concrete topic sentence driven draft. It required some minor changes, but overall I think my ideas were successful. I was just wondering if anyone chose to write on Mark Strand's "Keeping Things Whole?" It would be interesting to know your take on the poem. If not, it is a great poem- simple in form, but full of intense meaning.
