Thesis to Draft

I agree that formulating a thesis statement was much easier than creating the first draft. I think part of the problems I had came from picking such a short poem. I got a lot out of it, but just nearly enough to fill 3 pages in my draft. Maybe I was missing something else the speaker was trying to say. It is Roo Borson's "After a Death". If anyone else has read it let me know what you think.
