when examining a poem,
of course, you see words ~
words that has (often)
literal meanings vs. figurative meanings
and
denotations and connotations
and since poetry is a short form of literature...
the diction, word choice of the poet, is significant!
Looking closely at what and why the poet chooses one word over
other hundreds of thousands of possible words out there may give insight
to the meaning and/or theme of the poem.
Many words can have the same denotation, dictionary definition,
but have different connotations, associations and implications that
go beyond a word's literal meaning.
The connotations may help to estabilish certain moods that the poet
tries to create by setting up the tone of the poem.
Tone of a poem is essentially the writer's attitude towards the subject,
as you can often hear in conversations how one can be sarcastic or ...
stating something as a matter of fact... you can reach into how
the poet feels about the situation....presented... by the way he/she
presents it...
as thinking of words... the order of the words is apparently
very important as well... as it places emphasis and infer
meaning....the first and the last of the words seem to be
important.
