Tone

Tone: is the mood or the speakers way of speaking in a poem

Ex:

Crazy

I made you crazy
I drove a man crazy
and yet I dont know how I made him crazy
it wasnt fair for him to be crazy
Im sorry for making you crazy
I wish I could take your place and I be crazy
tell me a way show me a way and make me crazy
my heart hurts cause I made my friend crazy
Please change I dont want you to be crazy
Someone help him, help him, he's crazy
take away his pain that made him crazy
I dont like how I made him crazy
I didnt do it on purpose, I didnt even know I was making him crazy
I wish I could take it all back and he leave me crazy

Stay out of my life

 

The tone of poems are important because it is the way the speaker wanted the poem to said. Also, if you took out the tone of a poem it would sound dull and boring. Tones are important because it is the mood of the poem which can help the reader understand the poem through his or her way.

 

Ex:

Graduation Day

Graduation Day
sweat and mothballs
grass so green

graduation
where green banners wave
grass grows long

graduation night
the owl printed on a balloon
seems the wisest
