TITLE Look at it What could it mean? Is it clear? Is it vague?
That should tell you something about what to expect, too.

CONNOTATION What is the implied meaning, and how
does the poet convey this meaning? What kinds of literary things are going
on in the poem? Think in terms of diction, syntax (sentence structure), imagery, symbolism, etc. Any literary device used in the poem fits under the connotation category.

ATTITUDE What is the tone of the poem?
(see your Tone list in your journal!)

nearly every poem written.
Some shift indicators:Until
Then
But
Yet
Nevertheless
Punctuation (dashes, periods, etc)
Stanza divisions
Sharp contrasts in Word Choice/ Diction

THEME In a sentence, what is the theme?
What statement about life is the poet making? Be careful, theme is difficult to nail down, and it is easy to just write down subject matter rather than theme.
