POETRY TERMS: Tone ♥

TONE!




Definition: The pitch of the voice. High and low pitches are used to express the feeling and meaning in poems.

Example: When an artist sings, he or she sings in high or low pitches to set the tone for the song.

Significance: It is important to include tone while reading poems because it gives the poem more energy. It entertains the listener more, keeps him or her interested till the end. Tone is one of the basic things we need when reading a poem out loud.
