Question

How do I analyze a poem

Answer 1

Describe the main message or theme of the poem and locate any literary devices and rhetorical devices (metaphor, simile, alliteration, personification, assonance, consonance, meter, rhyme, repetition, etc.). It may help to make a comment on what you think is the most notable (your favorite) part of the poem.

Answer 2
