How to analyse unseen poetry

  • Always infer what each line means trying to tell you such as “pike dance on the surface among files” can suggest that the pike is an agile predator as it is “dancing on the surface”. Additionally, it could be interpreted as the pike is a dangerous killer or similar to it, as “flies” often like to follow and be around death.

  • A poem can be a flowing poem as it does not have much full stop. It uses abundance of full shop.

  • Low number of word per line creates a fast, pacy poem
