the words and delves into the emotional, symbolic, and aesthetic dimensions of the
poem.
b) Nature - It explores and celebrates the natural world and its beauty,
power, and complexity.
1. Close Reading: Close reading involves a careful and detailed examination of the
poem's language, imagery, sound devices, and overall structure. It requires paying
close attention to every word, line, and stanza to identify patterns, recurring themes,
and points of emphasis.
1. Emotional Impact: Poetic meaning has the power to tap into and evoke a wide
range of emotions in the reader. Through the careful choice of words, imagery,
and metaphors, poets can create vivid and intense emotional experiences.
