Read the poem slowly. Pay attention to the emotions the poem makes you feel, and what pictures are
created in your mind.
After you have read the poem for the first time, read it again. Pay attention to what type of language the poet has used to create images. Notice that there are many phrases that use the word like to compare two things. A comparison that uses the words like or as is called a simile.
