I watched the this video. 2009 National Champion, Will Farley of Virginia, reciting “Danse Russe” by William Carlos Williams.
In each one, the recitor had a great physical presence, great dramatization, and very good voice and articulation. He recited the poem as if it was a story of his own life or he was the person speaking in the poem. His presence was not nervous, or awkward in any way. It was just as if it was a one on one conversation between you and him. He showed great understanding as well.
I think the meaning of the poem was that no matter how lonely you are, you can always find something to succeed in and something that makes you happy, and something to be proud of about yourself. That everybody can be happy, no matter what you have or don't have.
