the poem is called not just a platform for my dance
this land is not
just a place to set my house my car my fense
this land is not
just a plot to bury my dead my seed
this land is
my tongue my eyes my mouth
*this headstrong grass and relenting willow
these flat-footed fields and applauding leaves
these frank winds and electric sky lines*
are my prayer
they are my medicine
and they become my song
this land is not
just a platform for my dance
1) what is the form of this poem?
2) what is the diction of the poem?
3) the rhythym?
4) the lines with the stars around it i need help paraphrasing
i am terrible with poetry, if anyone could please help me with this?
thanks!
