Analyzing a Poem

Describe your process of analyzing a poem
       When first reading a poem, I would glance through it to see whether there are any stanzas that split up the work. Second, when encountering words I don’t understand, I would look it up on a dictionary. Third, I would read the poem out loud to see the best way it flows. Last, after knowing the main idea of each stanza and understanding all the words, it’s time to put everything together and start to analyze the whole piece. If I’m still unable to comprehend the poem, I would use online resources such as Sparknotes or work together with classmates on Facebook to help me know more about the poem.
