Crane
by David Yezzi
Paper creased is
with a touch
made less by half,
reduced as much
again by a second
fold—so the wish
to press our designs
can diminish
what we hold.
But by your hand’s
careful work,
I understand
how this unleaving
makes of what’s before
something finer
and finally more.

1. Jasmine Nelson thinks that this poem is a narrative poem because it tells a story about paper folding itself into a crane.
2. The action in the first stanza is that a person is folding a piece of paper and it is easy.
3. The last stanza of the poem is included most likely to describe that she (or he) has more than before.
4. The feeling the author creates in this poem is a feeling of joy and satisfaction. The evidence I have is that if you folded a piece of paper and it turned into a crane , you would feel joy and satisfaction.
